There is a treacherous fault line creeping its way around the world marking profound distrust and animosity between Christians and Muslims. While both groups have in their histories in war-making and violence, another reality exists that gets too little attention. Muslims and Christians both are dedicating their lives to the pursuit of peace and peaceful relationships. In this documentary we examine the streams of peace that flow through both the Christian and Muslim worlds.

Presented by Trinity Wall Street
They live among us in every society on earth - visible yet somehow overlooked or ignored, crowding into city schools, rebuilding lives after prison surving in ancestral villages, laboring on the high seas. Forced to the margins, living on the edges of society. But here’s good news: they don’t struggle alone. Trinity Wall Street’s senior religion correspondent Jim Melchiorre shows us how the people of the Anglican and Episcopal Church join in partnership, and connect in relationship, with those the Bible calls “the least of these.”

Presented by the National Council of Churches; Produced by the Presbyterian Church USA
In the United States more than 30,000 people are killed every year by gun violence and the disaster caused by gun violence is seen in almost every community. We may hear briefly about the victims and survivors of these shootings, but what happens after the media attention moves on and the wider public becomes numb to "just another shooting"? Drawing upon conversations with lawmakers, emergency room chaplains and surgeons, survivors and victims'' families, former ATF officials, police officers, community leaders and others, "Trigger: The Ripple Effect of Gun Violence" shares the story of how Gun Violence impacts individuals and communities and examines the "ripple effect" that one shooting has on a survivor, a family, a community, and a society.

Presented by the National Council of Churches USA; Produced by United Methodist Communications
As a young mother tucks her children into bed in West Africa, the night brings ominous uncertainty. She may not know the cause, but her children risk falling ill and dying. Across the ocean, the best scientific minds labor to find an answer to what she calls, “the killer in the dark”; others know it as the mosquito-borne disease called malaria. NCIS star Pauley Perrette hosts this compelling documentary about the quest of the scientific and faith communities to combat this preventable and treatable disease. Although solutions are sought in laboratories around the world, there is power in the pews as people of faith mount a intricate campaign against the mosquito. How are these faithful followers helping to drive-down the number of malaria-related deaths and what is the lasting impact of their efforts? Watch the compelling story unfold in An Extraordinary Effort to Catch a Killer in the Dark. View the trailer:

Presented by a Consortium of Jewish Communities
It is unfortunate, but true, that women and girls who have experienced intimate partner violence have not always found compassion and help in their houses of worship. Now, a growing number of faith groups are trying to make safety for the victim of abuse, (in many cases, teens and tweens) a paramount concern. And clergy is learning that listening and believing are two of the essential keys to recovery.
