The Psalm of Howard Thurman is a feature-length documentary that renders the life and wisdom of the spiritual and religious giant, Howard Thurman. In the film, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Arleigh Prelow retraces Thurman’s journey and reflects on the significance of his story and words in her journey and for us all.
The Psalm of Howard Thurman skillfully combines on-camera remembrances, evocative nature scenes, and rare archival images. Interwoven are audio recordings of Howard Thurman himself, with the reflections voiced by Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe, and Emmy Award-winning actor Sterling K. Brown, and the narrative voice of filmmaker Arleigh Prelow.
The film, in essence, is a meditation on the power of love, the power of faith, and the power of a dream.
