Description:
A collaboration of the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City ~ St. Joseph and award-winning documentary filmmaker John Altman, the documentary explores the inspirations and motivations guiding each subject.
"All around us in our daily lives, we come into contact with people who seem to be, somehow, more grounded than others," said Diocesan Vicar General Msgr. Robert Murphy, executive producer of the film. "Many of them view their careers not as a series of decisions they have made, but a response to an invitation and an acceptance of a calling," Father Murphy said.
Among its subjects, Callings explores how faith moved Major League Baseball’s Mike Sweeney, civic leader Alvin Brooks, and marine biologist George Keiffer.
Underwritten by the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, local benefactors, and the U.S. Bishops Catholic Communication Campaign, the film and study guides included in this downloadable package are designed for use with adult faith formation groups and high school students.
Director John Altman has produced, written, and directed numerous documentary and educational films. Film credits include: Last Stand of the Tallgrass Prairie, Thomas Hart Benton’s ‘The Sources of Country Music,’ and, They Tell It for the Truth: Ozark Storytelling.
