Sex in a Cold Climate (1998)

Runtime: 50 min

IMDB

"Interlocking interviews of 4 women interred in various Magdalene asylums and/or orphanages because of out-of-wedlock pregancies, being sexually assaulted, or just being "too pretty" (believe it or not)."

"This is the documentary that inspired the film: The Magdalene Sisters. It is an expose of the cruelty and abuse suffered by the inmates of Ireland's Magdalene laundries where woman who were thought to be 'fallen' were made to work 12 hours a day, six days a week, for no pay. Four former inmates, overdubbing quaint old footage of Ireland, narrate the film. This juxtaposition shows us how such injustice could go on: to the outside world these institutions seemed good, even idyllic, places to put these young girls."

Trouble in Amish Paradise (2009)

Director:

Andrew Tait

Runtime: 58 min

"Andrew Tait's film follows Ephraim Stoltzfus, an otherwise average Amish man who had been excommunicated and shunned for daring to suggest that some of the rules imposed by the community elders might be a tad unnecessary. His ultra-conservative Older Order Amish church subscribes to the same version of the Bible used by their Swiss/German forefathers, written in an antiquated form of Deutsch that most of them don't understand. After Ephraim and his equally inquisitive brother, Jesse, committed the cardinal sin of reading the Bible in English, they came to the realisation that many of their lifestyle codes hadn't been dictated by the good book at all.

Although his belief in God was unshakeable, Ephraim nevertheless displays a healthy sense of irreverence towards some of the wackier aspects of his faith. He has no idea, for instance, why Amish males have to wear that distinctive, Abraham Lincoln-esque chinstrap, nor why their horse-drawn buggies have to be painted a certain shade of grey. You would think, after all, that God had better things to do with his time than dictate the finer points of facial topiary and vehicle maintenance.

Tait's film manages to illustrate the frustrating inconsistencies and nonsensical barriers of life within a fiercely fundamentalist religious sect. And yet it also shows its loyally altruistic flipside, revealing that Ephraim had donated his entire life's savings to an Amish family in need, and despite his excommunication, the rest of the community rallied round with support when he and his family were in need themselves."

For the Bible Tells Me So (2007)

Director:
Daniel G. Karslake




"We meet five Christian families, each with a gay or lesbian child. Parents talk about their marriages and church-going, their children's childhood and coming out, their reactions, and changes over time. The stories told by these nine parents and four adult children alternate with talking heads - Protestant and Jewish theologians - and with film clips of fundamentalist preachers and pundits and news clips of people in the street. They discuss scripture and biblical scholarship. A thesis of the film is that much of Christianity's homophobia represents a misreading of scripture, a denial of science, and an embrace of quack psychology. The families call for love."

Bells from the Deep: Faith and Superstition in Russia (1995)

Director:
Werner Herzog

"Bells from the Deep is German director Werner Herzog's documentary investigation of Russian mysticism. The film is concerned with Jesus impersonators, exorcists and the legend of the lost city of Kitezh. This myth is about a city that was in peril of being destroyed by marauding Mongols, but whose citizens prayed for rescue. Hearing their prayers, God placed the city at the bottom of a deep lake, where it resides to this day. Some even say that one can hear the bells from the city's church."
