 #2058: Mosque
Ages: Senior High, Adult
Time: 28 minutes

 #2057: Lives for Sale
Ages: Senior High, Adult
Time: 58 minutes
Produced by: Maryknoll
This harrowing film goes beyond the rhetoric to show why immigrants are willing to risk everything – even virtual slavery – for the American Dream. While politicians, activists and the media wrestle with the thorny issue of immigration, Lives for Sale exposes the painful, rarely seen human side of illegal immigration – especially the growing black market trade in human beings. The documentary also looks at some practical alternatives to these tragic realities. Tracing the stories of two young women who were trafficked, one in California, the other in Florida, the documentary asks why and how this could happen in the United States – and what can be done to stem the most lucrative criminal enterprise after drugs and gun sales. DVD format only.
#2056: The Mormons
Ages: Senior High, Adult
Time: 4 hours
Produced by: PBS
In the early years Mormons were hated, ridiculed, persecuted and feared. Yet in the past several decades the Mormon Church has transformed itself from a fringe sect into a thriving religion that embraces mainstream American values. Mormons have always had a peculiar hold on the American imagination, but few know who the Mormons actually are, or who they claim to be. In this revealing, provocative video it is revealed that the Mormon story is an American story and that Mormonism is perhaps the most American of religions. DVD format only.

 #2054: Sister Aimee: Saint or Sinner?
Ages: Senior High, Adult
Time: 60 minutes
Produced by: PBS
Tent revivals, Healing, Speaking in tongues. The Pentecostal faith conjures many images. But in the early years of the twentieth century, it was a religion that lived on the fringes of society – a reality that one woman made it her mission to change. Aimee Semple McPherson brought a unique blend of charisma, humor, and theatrics to a ministry that would later be rocked by scandal. Her meeting drew larger crowds than P.T. Barnum, Harry Houdini, or Teddy Roosevelt. This AMERICAN EXPERIENCE film is a portrait of the controversial, charismatic, wildly popular evangelist who mixed religion, entertainment and politics while bringing conservative Protestantism into the mainstream. Available in DVD only.
 #2053: Sisters of Selma: Bearing Witness for Change
Ages: Senior High, Adult
Time: 60 minutes
Produced by: PBS

Never before in American history had vowed Catholic women made so public a political statement. Risking personal safety to bring change, the sisters were themselves changed and they tell us how. A powerful, affirming new story of faith and justice arises from events we though we knew. Available in DVD only.
