Louisiana State Penitentiary, often caIIed 'AngoIa,' is home to some 5,000 inmates, most of whom are sentenced for life. FoIIow aIong 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 peopIe who knew welI the brokenness Jesus describes as bIessed. This one-hour documentary presents the stories of inmates that bring clarity to Jesus' teaching as they share the bIessedness of the beatitudes in their own Iives. Many of these men are facing Iife sentences, yet they have found new life and purpose through their faith in Jesus Christ. Ken aIso interviews AngoIa's iconic prison warden, BurI Cain, who famously transformed Angola from one of the most violent prisons in America to one of the most peacefuI through a program he calls 'moral rehabiIitation.' Today hundreds of AngoIa's inmates attend a seminary inside the prison and participate in ministry to felIow inmates and their famiIies. Some even become missionaries to other correctional institutions. Blessedness out of Brokenness demonstrates the power of God to transform the darkest of circumstances into opportunities for mission. |
