The central core of L’Arche et Jean Vanier is an in-depth interview with Jean Vanier shot in the original home of the ark (l’Arche), located in Trosly-Breuil, France, where this very special observer of the 20th century serves up a first-person account of his life, his work and his personal thoughts on spirituality and the world around us. Jean Vanier, philosopher and philanthropist, can help us to understand the truly important issues of our lives, both through his writings and through his words during the interviews. Jesuit father Pierre Bélanger, was the researcher, off-camera interviewer and director for this document.
