Synopsis:
(Excerpt from the film "High, Fast & Wonderful" featuring Fr. Gerry Hogan, National Circus Priest) Tracking the ministries of these missionaries serving “People on the Move†the film probes the hopes, fears and faith of a diverse flock who exist at that place where peril and pleasure intersect. Daredevil circus clowns, champion race car drivers and migrant workers on Nantucket Island reveal that even the briefest encounter can inspire relief from life’s ups and downs. Honoring the church’s long tradition of promoting and defending the human rights and dignity of those not usually thought of a "typical church people," each one advocates social remedies and fosters opportunities for spiritual growth. The film depicts clergy in action, living out the mission of social justice even when it brings them to unconventional circumstances. They demonstrate how actions can obliterate racism and stereotyping and promote pluralism. "High, Fast & Wonderful" prompts viewers to consider a rather unique perspective on building spiritual relationships and communities as a means to cope with life’s challenges (death, illness, separation from loved ones, social struggles). An interior as well as surface journey, the film offers a compilation of intimate yet extemporaneous interviews, rare archival and live action footage, animation and still photo-montage. A lively musical score by Berkley College of Music alum Jon Lay highlights the punchy narration voice-over of Annie Copps, Boston Magazine food editor and talk radio host at 96.9 FM.
