«« backThe first programme showed children at a Jesuit parish in Kabwe where a young Zambian Jesuit priest has a keen interest in a Catholic children’s movement called the Holy Childhood. Through sort of a panel, a little skit, the Sunday Mass, catechism classes, traditional dancing, story telling, parents and teachers’ interviews and many individual children’s inputs we came up with a response to the question, “What is unique about a child’s faith?” Because children are children, the script provided a narration behind what the viewers saw.
The second programme highlighted a group of 9 young adults between 18 to 25 years old explaining their faith by means of a lively discussion. In the middle of the discussion we showed a play, which they acted out, demonstrating “poor Christian behaviour” and then the conversion of the “bad guys”. Segments of documentary footage that showed actual life situations accompanied the discussion.
The third programme was the Major Seminarians talking about their faith. This turned out to be 15 different seminarians, mostly in groups of three, discussing different topics; faith and priesthood, faith and academics, faith and prayer, and faith in the church. The fourth programme was the faith of four young adults who are married. These two couples disclosed what they believed and hoped. The fifth programme illustrates the faith of eight elders who told their personal. The sixth and final show focused on the resurrection in terms of what scripture says about Jesus rising from the dead, what people believe about people’s rising from the dead after they die; and what people believe about the resurrected life of Christ living in us today as we walk around this earth as human beings living the values of Christ. This programme featured people from all age groups.
