Synopsis

Martin Sheen narrates "Heart of Camden - the Story of Father Michael Doyle" a beautifully shot and edited story about an Irish priest who came to Camden, NJ 60 years ago and never left. While most priests move onto the suburbs for their next assignment, Michael Doyle embedded himself in one of America's most violent cities, was arrested by the FBI for protesting the Vietnam war, was a true activist, provided schooling to children and housing available to hundreds, improved the environment by taking on big government's waste treatment plant (and inspired their leaders) and replacing concrete and abandoned lots with trees and gardens. By refusing to leave Camden, he changed the lives of countless citizens and children in the city's most impoverished neighborhood. Feedback includes "wonderful" "magnificent" "inspiring".
