Mother Teresa: In The Name Of God's Poor-DVD
This DVD is playable in US and Canada Only
Calcutta, 1946. Violence
rages in India. Sister Teresa, a small white woman from Albania, teaches at
the Loreto Convent. Sister Teresa is the first to take injured Indians into
the convent and treat them.
Against the wishes of the Archbishop, Sister Teresa leaves the convent to
live in the slums and care for the poor. At first the Indians are angry with
the white Christian woman. She has to turn to Father Van Dick for help. He
sets her up with the kind Juan Da Silva, a junk dealer, who gives her space
in a warehouse.
Sister Teresa struggles. At first she can't even take care of herself: one
day while cooking, she sets herself on fire. Also she remains mistrusted by
the poor she wants to help. The breakthrough comes when the police want to
stop the selling of junk in the city, and Sister Teresa stands up for the
junk dealers' rights. The Police Commissioner hates her, but she wins the
point and the junk dealers begin to support her.
Once again, against the advice of the Archbishop, Sister Teresa petitions
Rome to begin a new order of sisters. To everyone's surprise, the wish is
granted and The Missionaries of Charity is established.
Although Mother Teresa is making headway setting up a hospice in an abandoned
India temple, she has many enemies. The Police Commissioner feels she "pushes
him around," and radical youths think she is organizing a "Christ
factory," taking weak souls away from their karma. A young reporter,
Harry Harper, comes to write about the upcoming war between Indian and Pakistan
and learns about Mother Teresa from Sergeant Stout, a British supporter.
Harper witnesses Mother Teresa's humanity and how strongly she stands up to
violent students who riot against her. She cleans maggots out of human wounds
and cares for lepers. In truth, Mother Teresa is not proselytizing. Her steadfast
teaching of love for all finally wins over her enemies. Harper's moving news
stories bring Mother Teresa's message to the world. She becomes an important
example to many and wins the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979.
