Chaplains

CHAPLAINS is a new documentary film from award-winning filmmaker Martin Doblmeier that goes inside the dynamic and inspiring world of chaplains, men and women who represent their own particular faith tradition but are trained to be of comfort and support to people of all – religious or not. With a tradition dating back centuries, chaplains today are on the front lines, often in the midst of life and death situations, where the questions are the deepest and the need for spiritual and pastoral care the greatest. From the war zone to the workplace, chaplains serve as pastor, social worker, counselor, and bridge builder, and “lean into the painful places,” as prison chaplain Karuna Thompson says.
