Brand new HONORS for our In Good Conscience DVD!!

The American Library Association’s Booklist magazine has named In Good Conscience to its 2009 Top 10 Religion/Spirituality Videos, calling it a “superb title” and recommending that “This emotional program invites follow-up discussion.”

In Good Conscience has been honored with special screenings at branches of the New York Public Library including the Mulberry Street and Jefferson Market branches. We’ll keep you posted on upcoming screenings in 2010.

The ultimate teaching tool for college and high school students around the world. Generating positive and enthusiastic discussions in all religion, spirituality, and theology studies, women’s rights, sexuality, social justice, human and civil rights.

Other recent raves:

“There are so many levels of engagement, challenge, unexpected detours, laughter, tears, simplicity and selflessness shown in this story of one woman’s ministry that it is difficult to know where to begin a review of the film.

This film does not have all the ‘bells and whistles’ of a contemporary number one film of the year. It has more; it tells a story of one woman’s life that has touched the hearts of thousands. It tells the story of a woman of faith who will not easily give up being an advocate for those who have no voice in their faith community.

It shows us a woman not intimidated by institutional position or power. The film has given many great hope and new reason for living. For some it has offered a challenge to reconsider what it really means to say we believe that all human life is made in the image and likeness of God!” -Catholic Library World

And we’re among the finalists for the BEST OF 2008 in Video Librarian:

“As Barbara Rick’s affectionate documentary (shot by renowned documentarian Albert Maysles) In Good Conscience reveals, Gramick is a soft-spoken, unfailingly courteous woman who approaches all—even those who disagree vehemently with her beliefs—with remarkable tact and generosity of spirit (one of the most memorable moments here occurs when she talks to a man demonstrating against her views and ends up praying with him).

In Good Conscience serves up a thoroughly engaging portrait of a warm and compassionate crusader who, whatever your opinion of her views, is very likable… Recommended.” (Three stars) – March/April 2008 Issue

From Educational Media Reviews Online
Reviewer Gerald Notaro, University Librarian at the Nelson Poynter Memorial Library at the University of South Florida, gave us his highest rating, saying this about Sister Jeannine Gramick and IN GOOD CONSCIENCE:
“Like all great teachers, she teaches by example that one must not be silent, but speak the truth, and that truth will prevail. The documentary is a portrait of a woman who is determined and knows no fear. Gentle and polite, she disarms even the angriest without being confrontational. Like Sister Jeannine Gramick herself, In Good Conscience both impresses and educates. Highly recommended for all libraries.”

And in the Journal of Religion and Film, Professor Mary Ann Beavis of St. Thomas More College in Canada writes:
“This film would be a good discussion-starter about core values, religious affiliation and assent to church teaching with respect to a controversial, sensitive and important issue of human and religious rights.”

And in February’s ALA Booklist , Carol Holzberg writes:
“This intense and emotional program focusing on a sensitive issue invites follow-up discussion.”
