Work and Pray: Living the Psalms with the Nuns of Regina Laudis

The Benedictine nuns of Regina Laudis, living in simple and secluded devotion in Bethlehem, Connecticut, bear witness to the power of music -- and especially the Psalms -- to act upon and within individual and collective memories. The viewer enters a world of spiritual suppleness and lofty melodies, a world whose timeless beauty offers a retreat for the troubled contemporary spirit.
