See how Jewish, Christian and Muslim people of faith read their sacred texts and what they say morally about taxation.

Kepulihan: Stories from the Tsunami

Presented by the National Council of Churches USA; Produced by the Presbyterian Church USA

''Kepulihan: Stories from the Tsunami'' chronicles the struggles and triumphs of three survivors -- Yadi, Mahmud, and Damai -- as they rebuild their communities and reclaim their lives. Each survivor chose to be part of this project and actively participated in the process of production and documentation. As the filmmakers returned to Sumatra each year, survivors were able to view their interviews and stories from the previous year, reflect upon where they had been and share new stories in the time line of their recovery. The result is a unique time-lapse documentary that captures the healing and transformation of each individual, while leveraging the power of story to the survivors. They remind us that life does not end with each disaster but continues to be reclaimed with each day.

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.
