The Mystery of Love

Though popular culture seems to value passionate sexual romance as the highest form of love there is, the fact remains that there are many other ways of expressing love that don't involve physical intimacy. In this documentary, actor/playwright/author Anna Deavere Smith explores real-life stories in which community, altruism, brotherly love, love of community, and even love of war have helped to shape lives and provide meaning to those who craved something deeper than pleasures of the flesh.
