Sweetest I’ve Seen – Ceili Rain (live)
Ceili” (say: KAY-lee) is a Gaelic (Irish) word that means “party,” specifically one with live musicians, dancing and general merriment. “Coeli” is a form of the Latin word for “heaven.” Rain is that stuff that falls from the sky. Thus, Ceili Rain is a “downpour of heavenly partiness.” Ceili Rain is an innovative blend of pop-rock music with a dash of Celtic/Irish flavor and a subtle, but sincere, spiritual message. http://ceilirain.com

Forgiveness: Rosario Rodriguez
On June 29th, 2009 Rosario was a victim of a robbery and was shot in the chest. The doctors are calling her a miracle as the bullet missed her heart by 1 cm. Her esophagus was hit by the bullet and severely damaged while fragments of the bullet hit both of my lungs. It took 8 hours of intense surgery to repair her esophagus. The doctors placed two tubes in her right lung and one in her left to drain them after they collapsed. Her doctors and surgeons said she would spend at least two months in the hospital but thanks to the prayers from many around the world and by the Grace of God she was released only 10 days after the incident. She spent a month and a half recovering in LA where she had been living and her friends took very good care of her. She has now flown home to west Michigan to stay with her family and am working her way to a full recovery, which will take about two years.
To follow her journey of recovery, the trial, whatever is going on in her life and whatever is on her mind. Check out her blog:

Behind-the-Scenes: To Be Born (Spanish Dubbing)
Take a behind-the-scenes look at the dubbing of the Spanish version of To Be Born. To properly dub a film means minimizing the “kung fu effect” (when the actors’ lips keep moving while there is no audible talking). To accomplish this, Amanda Lopez and Efrain Chavez read the Spanish translations of the lines in the same amount of time as the English line that is delivered onscreen. At the same time, Amanda and Efrain had to deliver their lines with the same passion and feeling that the actors originally did in the scene. Needless to say, it is not as easy as it looks to dub a film, and it took a long time to get it just right.

To Be Born [English] 1080p (w/ Commentary)
Commentary with: Director & Editor: Rob Kaczmark, Director of Photography: Danny Hidalgo, Sound Supervisor & Production Assistant: Kyle Escamilla
Synopsis:
To Be Born is about a young woman faced with an unplanned pregnancy that seeks to have an abortion. In the midst of the procedure, she finds herself in a regrettable situation when she hears her unborn daughter begin to describe the chilling details of what is happening to her.
Background:
The film is based off a story called “A Letter from an Aborted Child,” which had been used for nearly 10 years by Father Stephen Lesniewski for use to show women in a time of indecision. He estimates that over 500 babies have been saved because of his efforts in utilizing the aforementioned piece. Upon its’ great success, Fr. Stephen decided to have a film produced with the hope that the overall message would reach an even larger audience.
