Twenty-two-year-old Jackie Pullinger graduated as an oboe student at the Royal College of Music in England and then boarded a slow boat to China and prayed for guidance about where to get off. She ended up in Hong Kong. She began with no organization and no financial base, just an unshakable conviction that the same Jesus who helped and healed the hurting and hopeless can do the same today. This is a candid documentary about Jackie's work amid the drug-crazed vice and violence of the old Walled City in Hong Kong. Her courage and strength shine through, showing viewers humanity at the brutal edge of existence and how tenderness and love-accompanied by the Gospel of Christ-can transform lives.

The drama of the partition of India and the creation of Pakistan in 1947 was dominated by larger-than-life figures like Lord Mountbatten, Mahatma Ghandi, Pandit Nehru, and Mr. Jinnah, the Quaid-I-Azam (the Great Leader). The Quaid's achievement was the creation, almost single-handedly, of the largest Muslim nation in the world, Pakistan. As its Governor-General, he became the first Asian head of state in modern history, yet he is the least known among the giants of his time. This documentary explores his remarkable life intertwined with the formulation of Pakistan itself. It is an intimate portrait that features first published interviews with Jinnah's daughter, Dina, and his private secretary.

Discover the enchanting and vibrant land of India and its people. Explore ancient civilizations, phenomenal architecture and look in-depth at India's diverse culture. Learn of India's past and present, including Mahatma Ghandi's struggle for India's freedom and present day city life including customs and religious ceremonies.

Throughout much of its long history, India has been an unsettled place ruled by a series of empires and foreign powers. Centuries of British influence in the subcontinent resulted in outright British colonial control beginning in the 19th century, a rule characterized by European privilege, oppression and subjugation of the Indian people. Propelled by Mahatma Gandhi's passive resistance movement, India finally gained its independence from Great Britain in 1947. Through excellent footage, primary source documents and expert commentary, viewers will not only understand Gandhi's nonviolent struggle for India's independence, but will also discover the movement's tragic aftermath.
