Sabbath Film and Impact Campaign

This project seeks to support the final production costs and accompanying impact campaign for the film Sabbath. This 2-hour documentary film to be produced for public television explores the religious concept of the Sabbath—traditionally a call to gather as a community in worship and increasingly in modern life as an appreciation of rest, family time, and a reflection of the rhythms of the natural world. Expanding on this, the producer seeks to “delve deeper into the meaning of Sabbath and to unlock an incredibly rich and vibrant study of humanity’s longing for and connection to a Creator God.” It seeks to “look at religious practice as it intersects with civil society through American history – from the founding days up to our contemporary experience and to discover how the timeless call to Sabbath can calm and enrich the individual, anchor and build community, recognize and serve those in need, honor and celebrate creation.”
