Synopsis

'I learned everything from the Bible. She is my book of life.' Georg Sporschill has put a lot in motion with his social projects. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, he set up relief agencies for street children in Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria. His new project with Roma children in Transylvania is called 'Elijah'. In Romania, 'raven' is a swear word for Roma - but in the Bible, the ravens bring bread and meat to survive to the prophet Elijah: the despised become lifesavers. What gives Georg Sporschill power? What inspires him? The Bible is about anger and reconciliation, about life and death. Jesus was an ingenious social worker.' Like Pope Francis, Father Sporschill is Jesuit. He reads the Bible together with friends: Ruth Zenkert, Josef Steiner and Dominik Markl make biblical themes come alive with him in the 'Bimails', a weekly column in the 'press', while providing touching insights into their daily work with people in need.
