Movies

World's Apart is the best movie I have seen showing what it is like being a teenage Witness. It is based on the tragic true story of Tabita Brøner, who was disfellowshipped after moving in with her boyfriend. This Danish movie with English subtitles can be purchased from http://www.tower.com/worlds-apart-rosalinde-mynster-dvd/wapi/114104794. Go to http://www.bt.dk/underholdning/tabita-broener-jeg-kan-ikke-hade-min-far for an interview and picture of Tabita.
