NOW AVAILABLE: Jerome Lejeune to the least of these my brothers and sisters (DVD)

CLICK TO ORDER

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the death of Dr. Jerome Lejeune, filmmaker Francois Lespes conducted extensive interviews with those who knew Jerome Lejeune, or have been affected by him in some way. He combined these interviews, conducted in both France and the U.S., into a beautiful documentary on his life: Jerome Lejeune to the Least of These My Brothers and Sisters.

Mr. Lespes probes Lejeune’s character through his interviews and his presentation is enriching and informative. It also causes one to challenge the depth of their commitments when confronted with this man who sacrificed honor and prestige, and even funding for his research program to hold fast to what he knew to be true: that every human being is worthy of respect and that a doctor’s obligation is to defend his patients from those who might want to do them harm at any cost.

This DVD presents the documentary with English voices dubbed over the French. Also included is the original French version and another versionwith Spanish subtitles. As a special bonus, there are additional recollections by friends, family, and former colleagues who reflect on his genius, his faith, and ultimately his profound humanity.

The DVD is available from the Jerome Lejeune Foundation for $16 plus $4 shipping (each copy). Download order form here.
