NOT BY BREAD ALONE 1999
  A documentary by Leen van den Berg
 
Synopsis In former times, the church was the heart of every neighbourhood and every village. These days many churches are empty. But not the Nassau Church in Amsterdam's Staatsliedenbuurt, a poor 19th-century urban neighbourhood. The Nassau Church is doing everything it can to keep its shrinking congregation while also trying to mean something for the less well-off: ex-psychiatric patients, drug addicts, illegal immigrants and the homeless.

A lively portrait of the church in an old urban area that serves both the faithful and those on the fringe of society.
