Mother Teresa is an excellent DVD about Mother Teresa and the work that she did.  It stars Olivia Hussey, who did a superb job portraying Mother Teresa.  Her performance was so good that I almost forgot that it was a movie and not a documentary.  The story began when Mother Teresa decided to leave the convent and work with "the poorest of the poor" in India.  I knew the basic things about Mother Teresa, but it was a real revelation to see how the media worked so hard to find any possible scandal in her work.  My only complaint about this film is that it left me wanting to know more.
