It's amazing what you find on the Internet. Searching for some information about Pedro Arrupe, I stumbled upon this superb five-part documentary on the life and legacy of the former superior general of the Society of Jesus, which was produced in 2008 by Georgetown University. It was just made available--a few days ago--on The Jesuit Channel, sponsored by the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. The quality of the documentary, which includes rare footage of Arrupe and interviews with his closest advisers, speaks for itself. Featured above is part two. The rest of the doc is available here.
