In the shadows of our nation's capital, impoverished black neighborhoods struggle to prevent hope from draining out of their residents' lives. David Petersen's powerful documentary, Let the Church Say Amen (not to be confused with St. Clair Bourne's 1974 film of the same name), shows how one church nourishes love and hope in members whose lives have been blown apart by hardship. Inside the storefront doors of the World Missions for Christ Church is a world filled with passion, sweat, devotion, and testifying. Soulful hymns transport churchgoers to a sense of safety within the faith while the ardent testimony by the minister, who overcame crack addiction, helps them realize that they can turn their lives around.—Shari Frilot, 2004 Sundance Film Festival
