Christian Claymation -Martin The
Cobbler ( All Ages )
Martin, a lonely and sad cobbler, regains his
lost faith and discovers the presence of God can be found in
unexpected places. Based on Leo Tolstoy's short story, WHERE LOVE
IS, this classic story of faith and friendship is presented in
Clay Animation, and narrated by Tolstoy's daughter, Alexandria.
Martin is a cobbler who lives alone, is very sad, and has given up
on life. His wife and only son have died, and he is angry at God
as well as the neighboring townsfolk who seem oblivious to his
painful loneliness. Then a holy man leaves a Bible that needs
rebinding. Martin eventually picks it up and reads the story of
the rich, young merchant who invited the Lord to be his guest but
failed to show him the ordinary signs of hospitality. As the story
develops we see how the Lord comes to Martin and how he recognizes
the Lord in the most surprising ways. A powerful program with a
message of hope. *First Prize winner of Children's Films - Ottawa
