This extraordinary and timely film was brought to my attention at Ordinary Plots: Meditations on Poems + Verse. Our public library had a copy of the DVD.
The following appeared at the end of the film:
“The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” – George Eliot, Middlemarch .

That is a beautiful and profound quote about this earth school we share. I had not heard it before but will not now forget it, as I have long believed its sentiment to be entirely true.
