Reportedly seven years in the making, the musical documentary Awake My Soul offers a glimpse into a little-known and seldom-discussed form of a capella music christened 'Sacred Harp singing' that relies on an alternate set of musical notations called shape notes. Because this Christian worship music originated in rural churches of the American south, the program travels to these venues and examines 'The Sacred Harp,' a very special hymnal built entirely around shape note singing, used and celebrated by a select few who are christened 'The Lost Tonal Tribe.' ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

It's Christmas Eve in 1943; in a small Georgia town two young children await their father's return at the local train station as the adults around them whisper about the unspeakable atrocities committed by Axis forces. Eleven year-old Gordy (Aiden Rogers) and his sister Priscilla (Emily Jordan) can't quite make sense of the propaganda posters and hushed conversations, yet a profound sense of sadness and fear swells somewhere deep within both children. Later, when a train transporting German POWs pulls in to the station, Gordy manages to overcome his fear and tenuously approaches the prison car. There, he connects with a young German soldier named Hans (Silvio Busch). Gordy and Hans each face uncertain futures, but together on this crisp December evening they will both come to a common understanding about Peace on Earth and Goodwill Towards Men though the traditional Christmas song "Silent Night". ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Hermie and Friends: Flo the Lyin' Fly represents the latest installment in theologian Max Lucado's computer-animated adventures of Hermie the Caterpillar and his insect pals. Featuring the vocal talents of comic greats Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, and the late, beloved Don Knotts, Flo the Lyin' Fly relays the story of Flo (voiced by Lawrence), a little fly with a big tendency to fib and stretch the truth. Taking as its inspiration Proverbs 19:5, this program entertains children with colorful animated characters, hilarious dialogue, and catchy musical numbers, while teaching them the value of honesty. Additional vocal talents include Frank Peretti as Puffy the Dragonfly, and Christian rock band Third Day as the Water Beetles. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
