Description: THE LONG SEARCH - Disc 1 -- Episodes 1 & 2, 104 min.
Episode 1 - Protestant Spirit USA
Episode 2 - Hinduism: 330 Million Gods
Protestant Spirit USA (Vol. 1) In the 1100 churches of Indianapolis, we see bewildering multiplicity of Protestantism. Churches with the seating and styling of deluxe first-run theaters. Services conducted with the professionalism of television spectaculars. And congregations that occupy every seat at four staggered services every Sunday. All are features of the US church-going boom. We discover that religion is not in a state of apathy in America; in some quarters it is decidedly big business.
Hinduism: 330 Million Gods (Vol. 2) Traces the Indian religious experience in two highly contrasting locations: the bustling city of Benares where millions come to bathe in the holy waters of the Ganges, and the small village of Bhith Bhagwanpur, unvisited except by professional story tellers and itinerant priests. The film concentrates its attention on the Hindu approach to God. But which God? For there are 330 million of them.
About the full series Running Time: 676 minutes Release Date: September 2001 Producer: BBC/Time Life Films This sound and picture enhanced series has served as the basis of successful religious philosophy courses around the world. An American Film Festival Red Ribbon winner, the series gives a balanced treatment of a force that is sadly neglected in most educations, the basic beliefs of the major religions in the world today. Ronald Eyre takes the viewer on a pilgrimage beginning in London and spanning 150,000 miles including India, Japan, Israel, Rumania, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, The United States, Egypt, and South Africa. Available for delivery to US destinations only. Series of 13 programs on 5 DVD's.
