They are inspiring, mind-opening stories about people from around the world: Europe, Latin America, USA, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Black Nation

Black Nation is a feature film that takes a hard, uncompromising look at the state of Black men in America today through the prism of the streets of Detroit and the City’s controversial Shrine of the Black Madonna. The Church’s focus on delivering pragmatic programs centered around economic self sufficiency, is a model for Black America today, as it searches for solutions to seemingly impossible problems. Set within the framework of a Father’s Day service the film tracks the despair of its congregation, while at the same time, showing the way forward with great hope and dignity. They are leading by example.
