Description

Two award winning documentaries on the spiritual gifts of two people with disabilities.
Where’s Your Home?: Born with Down Syndrome, John Smeltzer lives in a community of L’Arche. Active in his local community, he is known to greet strangers with the simple question: “So, where’s your home?” It’s a deep question asked through one man’s humble and loving heart. (10 min.)
In God’s Hands: Born with cerebral palsy, Michael Barrett cannot control his body or speak. His spirit tells a different story. Without saying a word, Michael has taught his friends to experience life in a new way. Through his disability, Michael communicates a much deeper understanding of life. (11:49 min.)

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
