Tuesday - An Article of Hope

"An Article of Hope" is a story of survival, hope, triumph, and faith. It is an inspiring documentary film that details the life mission of Col. Ilan Ramon, the first and only Astronaut from Israel, who blasted off into Space aboard the Shuttle Columbia. For his fateful journey, Colonel Ramon carried with him a cherished artifact, a miniature Torah scroll, that had survived the horrors of the Holocaust. From the "Depths of Hell to the heights of Space," his simple gesture would serve to honor the hope of a nation and to fulfill a promise made to generations past and future.
