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.
"Break Free" is written by Therry Thomas, Committed's third tenor. The song talks about breaking free from the temptations of the devil by giving God control of your life.
The a cappella group's debut album, "Committed," will be released on August 30, 2011.
