...volunteered with the Missionaries of Charity for a month in the summer of 2001. Mother Teresa's letters reveal not a "darkness" but a vulnerability. I can only imagine the mental and spiritual fortitude that a lifelong commitment to oppressed people would demand. Each letter Teresa wrote was an attempt to sustain her spirit as she battled the effects of extreme poverty...
...kept by one soldier, Angel Salazar (Izzy Diaz); it's a multimedia mockumentary.

Strip malls, 35-acre "ranchettes," town houses, resorts, mini-mansions, water parks, you name it, are fast becoming the face of the West, much more so than rodeos, "Howdy, ma'am" manners and, well, barbed wire...
