Repairing the Brokenness

The video includes perspectives from several faith leaders about repentance, redemption and healing the soul of our nation from the brokenness resulting from the use of torture. Within that context, the video addresses the need for accountability for U.S.-sponsored torture and provides information about NRCAT’s call for a Commission of Inquiry, urging people of faith to join the campaign by signing our statement. It best lends itself to a small group discussion or an adult education setting. If your congregation has an adult class that meets weekly to address a variety of issues, you might consider suggesting a screening of the video and using our Discussion Guide to facilitate a discussion. You can order the DVD for $5.00 from our online store or download to your computer. View the video.
