The Gates: On Video Librarian's 2009 "Best Documentaries" List
Alive Mind Education is very proud to announce that The Gates was listed as one of Video Librarian's Best Documentaries of 2009. Learn more about The Gates here.
Nobody's Perfect
"...while it might sound like a recipe for a depressing documentary, Nobody’s Perfect is anything but—it’s a poignant film that also offers warmth, humor, and a touch of righteous anger. Highly recommended. *** 1/2 Stars."
-Video Librarian Magazine, May/June 2010With One Voice
"Featuring 30 mystics from 14 spiritual traditions, With One Voice offers a spiritual message of universal love and compassion. Narrator Peter Coyote notes that—in reference to centuries of religious history, strife, and intolerance—“perhaps we’ve been looking for answers in the wrong places. *** Stars."
-Video Librarian Magazine, May/June 2010Griefwalker
"...its critique of the modern Western way of looking at death is persuasive, and the alternative Jenkinson offers seems both profound and—judging from the reactions of those he helps—often very effective. *** Stars."
