The Savior S2E12

04/12/22 • 60 min

That's The Savior, a 2014 Bulgarian-Jordanian film about the life of Jesus by an Arabic cast. To know how they made this film, we talked with John Dorr, The Savior producer. Dorr shares how they bring to life the story in a way to address Muslims to share what Christians believe and not to impose an idea that created the audience to feel identified as Dorr explains through different stories.

Dorr reflected on his childhood living in the middle east and how his mother's profession, author of novels and biblical historical books, changed and marked his approach to historical characters. About another filmography, Dorr tells us how they structure their films and for what and the importance of the decision to stick to chronological order. In addition, some stories during filming and a great date about the dub in English audio and future plans.

Poverty Cure S2E11

What causes poverty? It's a question that persists through time, but to have a real and meaningful response that changes this, we need to shift our idea of poverty and charity and start asking the right questions: What causes wealth?

To understand the implications of poverty and its solution, we talk with Michael Matheson Miller, host and producer of the six-part series Poverty Cure and the documentary Poverty Inc. This project, a series of 200 interviews and a documentary, was intended to create a resource with answers from different voices and perspectives, including philosophical and theological thinking about the problems of aids and the dominant humanitarianism that prevents prosperity, creating dependency instead.

Michael Matheson Miller shares the consequences of the current humanitarian work related to the delayed development of business and the problem of what has been institutionalized as humanitarianism and reflects on the last through the Scriptures. In addition, it explains the importance of the difference between having a heart for the poor vs. having a mind for the poor related to crucial things. Finally, it also explains the importance of the rule of law, having a solid institution of law, and private property as the base of sustainability development.

“When we give charity or foreign aid, we disempower local producers and harm economy and create dependency.”
