<p>"Just Breathe" is the pilot for the webisode "Abnormally Normal". The story is told through the characters' perspectives, exploring their flashbacks and dreams and delving into the depths of their minds where their personal council of archetypes bicker and banter about which path to take in the current dilemma. <br /><br />Abnormally Normal is a life-affirming "dramady" that poignantly captures the unpredictable and ever evolving definition of family life and it's flow often ending in divorce. This production’s theme is: A family doesn't have to end just because a marriage does.</p>

    <description><![CDATA[<i><a href="http://www.caachi.com/Members/blackie/ariannas_journey/view">Arianna's Journey is available for purchase on the Caachi website.</a></i> Arianna’s Journey, a pilgrimage of faith, is a documentary of 
          a woman who has the gift of healing and her travels in pursuit of her 
          spiritual destiny.<br /><br />Since 
          she was 14, Arianna has emanated heat from her hands. Her mother reports 
          that, “sometimes she could even burn you if you touched her”. 
          Not accepting any payment for her healing, Arianna works on people from 
          near and far by laying her hands on them: “I interact with the 
          soul, not with the body. The body is suffering when the soul is suffering.” 
          In the most extreme form of this kind of healing, Arianna performs an 
          exorcism on a local woman who is suffering from severe psychological 
          problems. She explains that “Satan is not the rival of God, but 
          he is helping on this earth to highlight human sins […] though 
          he frightened me at first, I’m not afraid of him now, because 
          I know that evil always brings good”.<br /><br />Since 
          the age of 6 Arianna has believed that she will give birth to the next 
          Christ-consciousness. She says that she has no free will, and acts only 
          upon an inner compass through which God directs her journey.  These 
          inner directives take her to ancient sacred caves in the Pyrenees, peyote 
          fields in the high Mexican desert, and holy shrines in Israel and Palestine. 
          The film is a meditation on the sublime and the mundane aspects of a 
          modern day pilgrimage of faith.<br />]]></description>

<p><em>Brother Born Again</em> is an intimate documentary about Julia
Pimsleur’s attempt to reconnect with her only brother, Marc, a born
again Christian who spent ten years living with his spiritual family on
a remote island in Alaska. Julia, a bisexual Jewish New Yorker, travels
to Alaska to try to understand why Marc dropped out of college and
converted to Christianity. Alternately funny and poignant, the film
explores family dynamics, as well as the definition of family itself.</p>

    <description><![CDATA[<i><a href="http://www.caachi.com/Members/tjoemurray/fish_cant_fly/view">Fish Can't Fly is available for purchase on the Caachi website.</a></i> 
<p>Conversations about god and struggling to be gay - Tom Murray's documentary examines the poignant experiences of gay men and women who have tried to "cure" their homosexuality through religion.</p>
"Fish Can't Fly" explores the lives of gay men and women of faith who have struggled to harmonize their sexuality and spirituality.  The personal stories shared are about people who have participated in the "ex-gay" ministries in an attempt to "cure" their homosexuality.  While the concept of changing one's sexual orientation may be viewed with a high level of skepticism, ridicule and even humor by the larger GLBT community, these are the humanized stories of those who have tried.  None of the participants were "cured" as they originally intended but they all found peace from within.<br /><br />The film contains candid, fascinating, humorous and heartfelt discussions about gay men and women and how religion played (and still plays) an integral part of their lives.

<p>A tender, inspirational documentary about a queer Korean adoptee's healing journey through music, breath, and spirit. <br /></p>
<p>Amber Field was born in Korea in 1975 and adopted by a European American woman. She had a relatively care-free childhood growing up with her adoptive family in Korea, Nepal, and Liberia, but then experienced racism and homophobia when she moved to the midwestern United States in 1986. During her twenties, Amber discovered music in India, and now performs all over the world addressing issues of transnational/transracial adoption and sexuality. Through photos, performance clips, nature scenes, and interviews, Amber shares her transformative stories.</p>

    <description><![CDATA[<i><a href="http://www.caachi.com/Members/artsengine/journey_to_the_west/view">Journey to the West is available for purchase on the Caachi website.</a></i> 
<p>
<i>Journey to the West</i> examines the roots of traditional Chinese
medicine, its incarnation in modern-day China, and its adaptation in
the United States. Rare footage of traditional medical practices in the
People's Republic of China is intercut with interviews of some of the
leading Chinese medical practitioners here in the United States.</p>
<p>
Conceived and shot over a period of three years, <i>Journey to the West</i>
is an insightful investigation of the connection between art, culture
and medicine. The film introduces a few of the diverse people who are
devoted to this medical practice, including Dr. Ho, a self-taught
herbalist living in the foothills of the Himalayas; Wu Zhongxian, a
martial arts master who performs a wide range of indigenous Chinese
healing methods; and students attending a modern-day Chinese medical
school in Shanghai. Back in the U.S., teachers, students and
practitioners of Chinese medicine working in California and New York
showcase their work in contemporary Chinese medicine. <i>Journey to the West</i> offers a unique perspective on a growing cross-cultural phenomenon.</p>
