Free resources for churches based on two big films
Use ‘Life of Pi’ and the soon to be released film version of ‘Les Miserables’ as launching pads for discussion around Biblical themes. Damaris Trust is delighted to provide entirely free resources for both films which are available in a glossy book and DVD of film clips and specially created videos.
Life of Pi
From Academy Award–winning director Ang Lee comes Life of Pi, based upon Yann Martel’s much loved book. An epic adventure of magical realism, Life of Pi follows the story of a young man’s incredible survival at sea against almost impossible odds. It came to UK cinemas on 20 December 2012.
The resources will help people of all faiths and none to think about the meaning of life and issues like what it means to be human. Christians in particular will find much in this film that will help to engage people in thinking hope, truth and faith.
