Special Viewing of the Film, Sexual Revolution: 50 Years Since Humanae Vitae
The musical documentary on the outcome of the free-love experiment of the last century set against the backdrop of Paul VI's groundbreaking encyclical about love, sex, and marriage. The centerpiece of the film is the dramatic life story of Alana Newman, a talented secular musician who gives up her entire musical career for life, family, and love. Alana shares how through desperation to know her father, she finally discovers the treasures of Theology of the Body, Humanae Vitae, and the riches of true freedom through a dramatic conversion.
