"The Adventists" documentary sequel in the works

A sequel is being planned for "The Adventists," the 2010 health care documentary that aired on PBS.


The sequel will be about the Adventist Church's "medical missions around the world," said Martin Doblmeier, the film's director.


Doblmeier said that the reason he is making a sequel is because he kept hearing from people about how proud they were of the Adventist medical missions around the world. He hopes his films are a positive influence on viewers.

And boom! She became an overnight celebrity ….but we're getting ahead of ourselves. Here's how it all began:
