Patterns of Evidence: The Red Sea Miracle II
Self
EL MILAGRO DEL MAR ROJO 2 continúa planteando grandes preguntas sobre los milagros bíblicos. Presentamos la segunda película de una nueva serie de dos partes del galardonado cineasta de Patterns of Evidence, Timothy Mahoney. ¿Cómo podrían miles de pies de agua separarse en el Mar Rojo? ¿O fue el mar simplemente separado por el acto del viento en la naturaleza, a través de un lago egipcio poco profundo? Mahoney investiga estos lugares para ver si alguno tiene un patrón de evidencia que coincida con la Biblia. Las personas de fe se sentirán inspiradas y los escépticos tendrán mucho en qué pensar mientras Mahoney revela dos décadas de investigación documental, incluyendo si los buzos encontraron los restos del ejército del faraón en el fondo marino. Este viaje cinematográfico le lleva a indagar... "¿Los milagros todavía ocurren hoy?"

The Fallbrook Story
Himself Introduction
“The Fallbrook Story,” is a 20-minute film of Cold War-era uneasiness in which director Frank Capra rails against what he calls the evils of Big Bureaucracy. In 1951, Capra lived in Fallbrook, California on his 1,000-acre Red Mountain Ranch farm filled with olive groves. The federal government, which had purchased the old Rancho Santa Margarita land in 1941 to build Camp Pendleton, was concerned that ranchers upstream would take or pollute the Santa Margarita River, which ran through Camp Pendleton. Capra’s film documents how Fallbrook residents fought back against the federal government.
