In Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist, we embark on a global journey to rediscover and revive the transformative power of the Eucharist. Engaging in dialogue with notable Catholic figures, the film explores the biblical origins of the Eucharist and shares personal stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed by the Blessed Sacrament. This exploration makes it unmistakably clear that the Eucharist is not merely a symbol, but is indeed Jesus Christ Himself — fervently desiring to quench our spiritual thirst with His boundless love.

TEILHARD: Visionary Scientist, is a 2-hour television biography of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J., written and produced by Frank and Mary Frost. It tells the story of an early 20th Century French Jesuit priest and scientist, who in relentless pursuit of the everlasting on earth, encounters fame, love, and implacable opposition from his church. Despite exile and lifelong censorship, his transformational insights into science and faith provide a prophetic legacy for our technological age. Frank and Mary will host a brief Q&A after the film.
