Witness movie returns to area
Flint Journal, MI - 1 8 minutes ago
... "Knocking," a documentary about Jehovah's Witnesses, will be shown the next three Saturday nights at the Temple Theatre in Saginaw. ... THE FLINT JOURNAL FIRST EDITION Friday, July 28, 2006 By Ed Bradley JOURNAL COLUMNIST One of the more prominent entries in this year's Flint Film Festival is getting a regional release theatrically. "Knocking," a documentary about Jehovah's Witnesses, will be shown the next three Saturday nights at the Temple Theatre in Saginaw. The film, co-produced and co-directed by Saginaw native Joel P. Engardio, is to be shown at 8 each night. Engardio will field audience questions after the Aug. 5 screening. A Michigan State University graduate, he is based in San Francisco. "Knocking" was shown twice to sizable crowds in Flint in April, and my phone line filled with inquiries about the film, pro and con. It's a generally positive look at the controversial group; part of a Catholic family, Engardio was raised as a Witness by his mother but never joined the religion. The film will be airing on PBS stations this fall, Engardio told me in April. For more information about the Temple screenings, call (989) 754-7469 or visit www.templetheatre.com.

WHAT WAS WATCHTOWER’S ROLE?
The New York-based Watchtower Society directs the worldwide ministry of
Jehovah's Witnesses. It publishes the Watchtower magazine and other
religious books and journals distributed by Jehovah's Witnesses.
Viewers who
would like to know more about the role of the Watchtower Society in the
production of KNOCKING may call Watchtower at 718-560-5600 (weekdays
between
8am and 5pm Eastern time). KNOCKING is an independent film production.
Watchtower cooperated with the film's producers, providing them with
archival material, granting interviews and permitting their cameras
access
to Watchtower's headquarters. KNOCKING's camera crews were also allowed
to
film at a district convention of Jehovah's Witnesses, inside local
Kingdom
Halls and accompany Witnesses in the door-to-door visitation work.
Watchtower had no editorial control over the program, but the producers
provided an advance courtesy screening of the completed film.

WHAT ARE VIEWERS SAYING?
"I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and I think KNOCKING would be a
favorable
screening for Witnesses and non-Witnesses alike. I had the pleasure of
being
at the screening of your documentary in Trenton, New Jersey at our
city's
recent film festival. I found KNOCKING to be fresh, enlightening and
fair."
Terri Taylor
New Jersey

"KNOCKING was a knockout! It was fair, honest and factual. You couldn't
have
picked better subjects than the Kempler and Thomas families. Best of
all, it
was told by non-witnesses. Congratulations."
Ellen Williams and Anna Turner
Long Island, New York

"We wanted to let you all know that we really appreciated the fair
depiction
of Jehovah's Witnesses contained in your film. Four of us from
Cleveland,
Ohio traveled to Flint, Michigan to see it, and it was wonderful. We
all
cried as we watched the movie! Once again, thank you for an accurate
and
interesting portrayal of Jehovah's Witnesses. We look forward to seeing
the
DVD."
Marla Roberts, Lashella Carroll, Sonya Parker and Paulette Murray
Cleveland, Ohio

"I just got in from the Long Island screening of Knocking and I had to
write
to express my feelings. It was wonderful! As one of Jehovah's witnesses
for
35 years, I was a little wary when I first heard about this film. I've
been
used to inaccurate reports from the media over the years and was
thrilled to
experience your fair and accurate documentary. I shed a few tears
during the
sections dealing with Seth Thomas and his father, and of course the
experiences of Joseph Kempler. Thank you for your film and for being
fair
and accurate about our beliefs and way of life."
Alick C. Samuels
Cambria Heights, New York

"I was very impressed with your film and its four perspectives: 1) the
blood
issue; 2) our relationship with non-JW family members; 3) JWs & the
Nazis;
4) JWs and civil rights. The delivery of these very important issues
was
nicely demonstrated in the film. When I returned home I immediately
told my
friends and family about this wonderful film. Thank you for your
fairness
and good research."
Helen Cole
New York

"Thank you so much for giving our beliefs a fair shake."
Luanne Longan
Retired English professor, Gadsden State Community College

WHAT ARE PROFESSIONALS SAYING?
"Riveting and illuminating. KNOCKING takes us inside the world of
Jehovah's
Witnesses in a way that is utterly surprising and moving."
-- Anderson Cooper, CNN

"A compelling documentary. KNOCKING affirms the principle that in a
free
society, the protection of religious liberty and the advancement of
personal
freedoms need not be competing values.”
-- Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties
Union

"A thoughtful telling of an important, often-overlooked story about
essential American issues.”
-- Jon Meacham, Managing Editor, Newsweek

“KNOCKING contains a wonderful surprise: It shows how science and
religion,
with worldviews that rarely overlap, can reach a common goal – the use
of
less blood in medicine – even if for very different reasons.”
-- Arthur Caplan, Chair, Department of Medical Ethics, University of
Pennsylvania

"An absorbing account of a misunderstood religious movement and its
relationship to contemporary culture. KNOCKING raises important
questions
about how we know and how we consider the religious "other," and
through its
own presentation, causes us to re-think the way media represent them."
-- Stewart M. Hoover, Director, Center for Media, Religion and Culture,
University of Colorado
