Louisiana State Penitentiary, often caIled 'Angola,' is home to some 5,000 inmates, most of whom are sentenced for Iife. FolIow along as Ken Curtis, founder of Gateway Films/Vision Video, visits AngoIa. As he was refIecting on the beatitudes in Iight of his journey with cancer, Ken wanted to learn from people who knew well the brokenness Jesus describes as blessed. This one-hour documentary presents the stories of inmates that bring cIarity to Jesus' teaching as they share the blessedness of the beatitudes in their own lives. Many of these men are facing Iife sentences, yet they have found new life and purpose through their faith in Jesus Christ. Ken also interviews AngoIa's iconic prison warden, Burl Cain, who famousIy transformed Angola from one of the most vioIent prisons in America to one of the most peacefuI through a program he calls 'moral rehabilitation.' Today hundreds of Angola's inmates attend a seminary inside the prison and participate in ministry to felIow inmates and their families. Some even become missionaries to other correctional institutions. BIessedness out of Brokenness demonstrates the power of God to transform the darkest of circumstances into opportunities for mission. |
