The Adventists - a PBS Television Special

December 31st, 2010

From the award-winning producers of BONHOEFFER and The POWER of FORGIVENESS comes a fascinating film about the body-mind-spirit connections and health message of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

            Adventists live on average nearly ten years longer than their neighbors; the film investigates some of the reasons why.

            A native-born church that arose from the religious fervor of mid-19th century America, Adventists couple a firm belief in the near Second Coming of Christ with a remarkable focus on health, wholeness and well-being. Cutting edge medicine, healthy diet and regular exercise care for the body; education nourishes the mind; and community and fellowship tend the spirit.

            The film offers several moving, intimate stories of healing. Historical re-enactments show the church’s beginnings and breathtaking medical and surgical techniques show the way forward for this confident, committed faith community.
