Summary: Keep looking
Comment: This biography is chock-full of interesting information and especially noted for historic footage; however several long periods of interruption showing nothing more than pictures of film reels, camera lenses, and other film clips having nothing to do with the subject at hand are quite annoying and disruptive to the content. These many "fillers" are a waste of the gift of sight and the time could have been put to much better use by simply showing more still photos of Mother Teresa or her many work settings. I've seen many other tributes to Mother Teresa and this was my least favorite. I'd recommend those interested to consider other sources.

Summary: good but not for the classroom
Comment: I thought this was a very good documentary on this great saint. However, since i bought it to show a number of year 9 students it was quite boring and not student-friendly. The people who make these documentaries must make them more student/ school friendly. Overall the dvd was a good one.

Summary: Unconditional Love
Comment: Excellent overview of a modern saint Mother Teresa's life, espcially the footage of her holding the tiny, abandoned babies in her hands, and her personal caring of the lepers. Mother Teresa's life is a shining example of karma yoga, faith, devotion, unconditional love, compassion, and humility that we can learn and incorporate in our daily lives. I also bought the DVD of Mother Teresa, played by Olivia Hussey, which is also excellent.

Summary: Thorough & Touching Tribute
Comment: An excellent example of Biography when the program focused on challenging and intriguing lives - rather than 70s TV stars. This episode comes from a time when Biography was committed to thoughtful and revealing glimpses into the lives of women and men who slowly changed the world for the better. The production offers numerous interviews of Mother Teresa's contemporaries and fascinating video clips of the woman, both in her labors for the poor and among the world's powerful. Her unique spirit shines through, including moments when her overwhelming personality was perhaps not easy to take but was still admirably, relentlessly dedicated to her worthy cause. She was a personal hero of my fiance, Sidelle Rimbaud, who patterned many of her life decisions after Mother Teresa's example of self-sacrifice, and ultimately died in the line of duty. Because of this, I watched the program and was rewarded with a view of one of humanity's most noble spirits. David R. Bannon, Ph.D.; author "Race Against Evil."

Summary: A Powerful Spiritual Experience
Comment: This is one of the Biography series best. Although it is not up to date, the video is a powerful document of Mother Teresa's life. The interviews with many of her associates within and outside the Catholic Church add a great deal of insight into her work. It shows clips of her speech after winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and the passion she felt over the issue of abortion.
The entire video has a great spiritual air about it, and leaves one feeling that they know a little more about such a great woman.

Editorial Reviews:
|
When called to serve by God, she responded like no other in modern times. Her phenomenal labors on behalf of the poor, unwanted and needy earned her the name "the Saint of the Gutters." For over 50 years, Mother Teresa dedicated herself to the "poorest of the poor." The order she founded the Missionaries of Charity grew to encompass over 3,000 members working in 25 countries. She earned countless accolades and awards, yet as her fame and influence grew, she remained unchanged, giving all she had to help the least fortunate. Join BIOGRAPHY for a loving look at the inspiring life of Mother Teresa. This moving portrait is highlighted by interviews with those who knew her from unwanted orphans to world leaders and extensive footage from her long life of service. From her childhood in Yugoslavia to the Nobel Peace Prize, this is the definitive profile of a life of devotion Mother Teresa.
