It was about two years ago when my wife and I went to see an exhibit on the life of Billy Graham at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh, NC. The exhibit called "North Carolina's Favorite Son: Billy Graham's Remarkable Journey of Faith" touched on many aspects of the ministry of Rev. Graham.
Obviously the parts of the exhibit that I found to be the most fascinating were his work on the Songs in the Night radio program, and a 35mm print of the World Wide Pictures production "Joni" based on the life of Joni Eareckson Tada.
Before seeing this exhibit I was unaware that the Billy Graham Evangelical Association was involved producing motion pictures, short films and documentaries since 1951. World Wide Pictures has reportedly produced over 100 films but the official website only shows 33 examples. This means that many more of these film must be in a library or archive somewhere
