The collection includes the IN THE LIGHT OF REVERENCE series, about Native Americans struggling to protect their sacred places and WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE, the six-part history of evangelical Christianity in the United States. Other aspects of Christianity are explored in LEFT BEHIND IN LOUISIANA (evangelcialism on the Gulf Coast), SONS OF PERDITION (teenages escaping the secretive FLDS group. and THE VIRGIN, THE COPTS AND ME, about Egypt's Copt community. Several classic titles from Kartemquin Films explores grassroots Catholicism in Chicago in the 1960s. The collection has especially rich content about Islam, films about Islam and women (including A VEILED REVOLUTION, CRIMES OF HONOR and DISHONORED), and the fascinating story of Leopold Weiss's conversion to Islam.
