The Dorothy Day story: A conversation with documentary filmmaker Martin Doblmeier

This week’s guest, Martin Doblmeier, is a documentary filmmaker specializing in content touching on faith, religion and spirituality. He joined host Bill Baker for a discussion on his recent PBS film, “Revolution of the Heart: The Dorothy Day Story.”

“Revolution of the Heart: The Dorothy Day Story” traces Dorothy Day’s journey from a young communist journalist, to a Catholic convert, to the co-founder of The Catholic Worker newspaper and the first “houses of hospitality,” which sheltered New York City’s homeless during the Great Depression.

That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world.
