Inside the Freemasons (2017)
Excellent personal look at the lives of Freemasons
In a world where hatred, avarice and deceit are all too common, a viewing of the Netflix series, Inside the Freemasons offers a breath of fresh air while dispelling the myths and misconception about modern Masonic activities. The first important aspect of this documentary is the ability to highlight the fraternal bonds of brotherhood that serve as a catalyst for the community service which is vitally important to Masonic life. Aired in five episodes that highlight and follow the lives of several freemasons, viewers will have a ringside seat into their personal lives and learn how freemasonry impacts them in a positive way. Many of the personal events are quite poignant, including that of Peter, a freemason who lost his wife to a tragic, sudden illness and found strength through his Masonic connections. Viewers will also meet Dave, a Gulf War veteran who felt adrift after leaving the service, only to find renewed strength and purpose after becoming a freemason. His heartfelt journey includes details of his ascension as a Lodge officer. Featuring rare footage of some lodge activities, the point is made succinctly that freemasons are not a "secret society, but rather a society with secrets." Those secrets remain intact and are not revealed here, but what is revealed is the positive community impact, ongoing tireless charitable work and dedication to their community. Highly recommended.
