Adam Smith: The Currency of Thought poster
NR

Adam Smith is known as the "Father of Capitalism" and the modern world's first economist, but that is only a partial understanding of the Scottish Enlightenment scholar's vision for human flourishing. In reality, Smith defies current-day definitions both in his academic work and his economic thinking. He is best known for writing The Wealth of Nations, but he would caution readers to study his first book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, before considering his ideas about organizing commercial society. The film introduces his thinking to a new generation, dispelling myths and exploring how his insights can help society today.

The Human Experience poster

The story of a band of brothers who travel the world in search of the answers to the burning questions: Who am I? Who is Man? Why do we search for meaning? Their journey brings them into the middle of the lives of the homeless on the streets of New York City, the orphans and disabled children of Peru, and the abandoned lepers in the forests of Ghana, Africa. What the young men discover changes them forever. Through one on one interviews and real life encounters, the brothers are awakened to the beauty of the human person and the resilience of the human spirit.
