William Booth - A Passion for the Poor. A documentary about the Founder of The Salvation Army 

This is the trailer for 'William Booth - A Passion for the Poor', a documentary about the life of the founder of The Salvation Army.
With restored film footage and specially treated photos, this 30-minute film looks at the life of William Booth, founder of The Salvation Army, and what he called his "destiny" - his calling to share the love of Jesus Christ with the poor, first in London, but then around the world.
On August 29th 1912 William Booth was buried. Hundreds of thousands of working class Londoners lined the streets for his funeral procession because they saw in him someone who was on their side.
William Booth was a man who was convinced it was his 'destiny' to share the good news of Jesus Christ with those on the margins of society.
That conviction led him to found The Salvation Army, which in the space of a few years grew from a tiny mission in the East End of London to a worldwide movement.
William Booth has been described as one of the greatest men of the Victorian era. Using restored and newly-found archive film and photographs this film shows why.
