God and the Inner City

Nationally broadcast on PBS June 22, 2003.
60 minutes

Across America, a new group of activist ministers is struggling with the core problems of America’s inner cities, such as gang violence and drug addiction. God and the Inner City profiles three different faith-based groups and considers the questions raised by government support, such as the separation of church and state. Narrated by Phylicia Rashad.

[This] splendid new documentary, reminds us just how important the faith-based debate really is.
