Taize: That Little Springtime, shot on location in France, presents a glimpse of the 80 men - from different cultures and different Christian traditions - who comprise the ecumenical community of Taize, founded in 1940. Thousands of people, mostly young adults, have traveled from around the world to the picturesque Burgundy region of France to spend time with the community.
In the program, we see them in Bible Study and small group discussions, as well as in prayer with the Brothers -- a prayer composed of Scripture readings, silence, and the well-known Taize music. The young people speak of their motivations and hopes, while Brother Roger, Taize's founder, shares his reasons for beginning the community. Several of the Brothers reflect on Taize's mission today.
Taize: That Little Springtime is a documentary with a runtime of 25 minutes.
