Title:
Song After Sorrow, 1938, part 2.
Description:
"Song After Sorrow" (1938) was a dramatized documentary of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. Congo Mission work among lepers at Bibanga. Virginia and Ray Garner, of the Africa Motion Picture Project, arrived at Bibanga in late 1938 just as Eugene Kellersberger was preparing to relocate the mission's leprosarium. A portion of the film depicts, as Virginia wrote in her diary of August 23, 1938, "homeless lepers en route [...] The ones without feet rode in carts, the women carried baskets on their heads, and the crippled hobbled along with sticks. It really was quite a scene and should be very effective." [Cf. Glenn Reynolds, "Images out of Africa : the Virginia Garner diaries of the Africa Motion Picture Project," 2011.] This is a 1990s transfer to VHS, likely provided to PHS-Montreat by the Medical Benevolence Foundation.

Title:
Ben Weir (1985)
Description:
"For 16 months, the Rev. Benjamin Weir was in captivity as a hostage in Lebanon; and in a sense his family also was held hostage. In their own words, family members tell of their private ordeal and the great release they themselves experienced when husband and father Ben was unexpectedly set free. The program features excerpts from Ben Weir's September 24, 1985 homecoming press conference at the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., plus exclusive interviews with Ben Weir, Carol Weir, and other Weir family members."
