A free Bible study guide is being given away by Walt Disney Productions as a way to promote a new documentary, “America’s Heart and Soul,” that tells heartrending stories of several Americans across the nation.
The film has been endorsed by Ted Baehr, publisher of the pro-family Movieguide, which was produced by filmmaker Louis Schwartzberg.
Baehr, in a news release, calls the movie a "beautifully photographed ode to the best in America – a Spirit-filled documentary celebrating what is good in the USA."
“This captivating documentary introduces us to individuals around the country, from Thomas Roudy Roudebush, one of the last cowboys in Colorado, to dairy farmer musician George Woodard, to aerobatic pilot Patty Wagstaff, to Olympic boxer Michael Bennett, to blind mountain climber Erik Weihenmayer, who is climbing the tallest peak on each of the seven continents, to jazz musician James Andrews, to oil well firefighter Ace Barnes, to gospel singer Mosie Burks, and many more.”
Baehr went on to the say the film “presents captivating portraits of people full of faith and values. In the process, it teaches us something about America and something about the soul.”

Baehr notes that the free Bible study guides promoting the film can be received by calling 1-888-347-6396.
Disney is relying on word-of-mouth to spread news about the film instead of investing in an expensive promotional campaign, perhaps taking a clue from Mel Gibson’s highly successful film, "The Passion of the Christ."
