There isn’t an MPA rating, but due to a violent scene at the beginning, the producer
recommends the film for ages 13 and older.

What is Ruah Arts Group, and who is behind it?
Ruah Arts Group, founded in prayer by Jessica Smith in January 2007, is a faith based culture group whose goal is to live out John Paul II’s Letter to the Artists by fostering fellowship, formation and fraternal service with our artistic gifts for the greater Glory of God. In a world grown dismal, we want to shine a light amidst the chaos, affirm with God, “It is good.”
 

Do I have to be religious to come?
Heck no. Just human.

Madison Movie Premiere!

September 17th, 2007 by ruah

The Human Experience Poster 

It’s official: Grassroots Films is coming to Madison to premiere their first feature film, “The Human Experience,” a docu-drama about meaning, life, joys and sufferings–the gift that is discovered by experience in the journey.

Synopsis:

From Grassroots Films of Brooklyn, New York comes THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE– the story of a band of brothers who travel the world in search of the answers to the burning questions: Who am I? Who is Man? What is the meaning of life? Their journey brings them into the middle of the lives of the homeless on the streets of New York City, the orphans and disabled children of Peru, and the abandoned lepers in the forests of Ghana. What the young men discover changes them forever. They are captivated by the joyand love that they encounter; they are awakened to the beauty of the human person and the resilience of the human spirit. Along with one on one interviews with experts and amateurs from all walks of life, THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE weaves both commentary and drama into a deep reflection on what it means to be human. 

Tuesday, November 6th 7pm 

Madison Museum of Contemporary Art Lecture Hall downtown

This event is free (!) but a free will offering will be taken up to offset the costs of screening it at a lux location. Seat reservation for the 230 seats is first come, first serve online. This should be set up by the end of the week.

If you would love to be involved with this event, either by promoting it (email, putting up posters), praying for the fruits or with a donation, email Jessica at ruahfellowship@gmail.com.
