Documentary: Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, Working With the ‘Outcasts’

The Catholic World Report, K.V. Turley: Outcasts is a new documentary film from Grassroots Films. You may remember their impressive debut, The Human Experience, from 2008. Be prepared to be impressed once more.

The film’s subject matter is the life and witness of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, a congregation founded by Father Benedict Groeschel and others in 1987. The documentary is not just about the friars, though; equally present throughout are the people with whom they share their lives.

The film starts in the Bronx. Read the rest here.
