On Thursday, July 28th at 9pm, OWN will premiere the third film in the Documentary Club, Serving Life – about an extraordinary hospice program where hardened criminals care for dying inmates, narrated and executive produced by Forest Whitaker. Watching this film will be a great experience for your organization as it shows the inmates struggle for redemption by caring for the terminally ill. We strongly believe that this film will resonate with your organization. Documentaries are a powerful way to unite people and inspire them to lead more compassionate and engaged lives. We all learn best from our own experiences, but the next best thing is to learn from others. That is our goal for the OWN Documentary Club...connecting the world through stories that matter. We invite you and your members to tune into the US Premiere of Serving Life, on OWN Thursday, July 28th at 9:00pm. Below is the link to OWN’s Documentary Club website, where you can view the film’s trailer, and learn more about the Club. You will also notice a Channel Finder box to the right and a link below, which is to help people find the OWN channel in their area. http://www.oprah.com/own/channel_finder.html http://www.oprah.com/own-doc-club/Serving-Life-Trailer http://www.facebook.com/owndocclub Thank you for your time and support of this film.
