Power of Forgiveness DVD

The Power of Forgiveness, a documentary film by Martin Doblmeier and produced by Journey Films, explores recent research into the psychological and physical effects of forgiveness on individuals and within relationships under a wide variety of conditions and translates it into a popular, accessible documentary film for national public television. This includes feature stories on the Amish, the 9/11 tragedy and peace-building in Northern Ireland, along with interviews with renowned Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, best-selling authors Thomas Moore and Marianne Williamson and others. The film also explores the role forgiveness holds in various faiths traditions. It provides an honest look at the intensity of anger and grief that human nature is heir to. We see in the film that there are transgressions people find themselves unwilling or unable to forgive. Through character-driven stories the film shows the role forgiveness can play in alleviating anger and grief and the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that come with it.

This film was featured as part of the Oates Institutes' 2007 Healing Power of Forgiveness conference and served as the inspiration for Jim Mahanes series of Amish paintings, Simple Gifts: Portraits in Forgiveness.
