CHAPLAINS is a documentary film that offers dramatic, personal portraits of the men and women who represent varying faith traditions - Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, etc. - and the wide array of professional environments where they serve. Chaplains are called upon to minister both to people of similar faith and those whose religious beliefs may be very different from their own. In a world growing more and more uncivil - especially in matters of religion - chaplains model a behavior that goes beyond tolerance as they honor the faith tradition of others without compromising their own.
