The two-hour feature documentary “Your Health: A Sacred Matter” depicts a comprehensive overview of the relationship between religion, spirituality, and health. “Your Health” examines the past and present role religion and health have played in Western medicine. The film tells the personal stories of doctors, nurses, patients, chaplains, and caregivers as they explore life’s important questions:
- What connections between religion, spirituality and health are increasingly common in contemporary society?
- What is the role of religion and spirituality in healers’ lives and their approach to healing?
- How are modern biomedical investigations into mind/body connections challenging conventional views about religion & spirituality in the West?
- How do modern healers respond to their multicultural clientele?
The running time for this documentary is 117 minutes. Those physicians, nurses, and pharmacists who watch it can apply for CME/ CEU credits.
