There is a wide range of spiritual/ religious issues, personal stories about faith for example when a bouncer became a Christian just by talking to one lady in the club.
My own opinion is that the program was great and a bit interesting because it showed a lot of different people whose life has changed by going to church and becoming a believer (Christian, Muslim). Their lives become more easier and better than before.
Religious documentary
Religious documentary is about famous people on a spiritual journey to search for spiritual fulfilment, relaxation, calm and peace for example the Holy Island off Northumbian coast. We also watched another video called paradise found which is an example of religious documentaries. Different people can this program e.g. religious and non- religious people but elder people (adults) mainly watch it.
My opinion on this program is that its an okay kinder program because its not that interesting to watch they need to make it kind of exciting to watch, so it can attract young adults to watch the program.

Philadelphia Coursework
Philadelphia is about a young lawyer called Andrew Buckett; he loses he’s job at the law firm. The law firm lies about they fired him but he knows that they knew that he had Aids that’s why they fired him in the first place.
Andrew Buckett is determined to defend his self and his professional reputation, so he decides to look for a lawyer to defend him when he goes to court but he doesn’t find any one who wants to help him at all. So Andrew Buckett hires a small time personal injury lawyer called Joe Miller to help him sue the law firm for firing him because he got Aids.
At first Joe Miller doesn’t want to take on his case for the same reasons as the law firm that Andrew used to work even though when Joe was a growing up he came in contact with the pain of prejudice. Joe Miller has never confronted his own prejudices against gay people who got Aids until he meets Andrew Buckett and he decides to take on the case against the firm.
In a Christianity point of view you are not allowed to be homosexual (attraction to the same sex) because it is a sin and it is also condemned in the bible.
The message inside Philadelphia is that don’t judge people just because they are different, you should expert them for who they are.
The problem in Philadelphia was dealt within the story by going to extreme levels (court) just to find out if the firm was prejudice against people who have Aids.
The problem was also dealt fairly because Andrew Buckett won the court case against his old lawyer firm he used to work for and he got what he wanted and the was justice.
The treatment of the firm couldn’t have been improved at all because Andrew got everything he needed e.g. his family, friends supporting him all the way to the end…
