Doc Shorts: Leaps of Faith
An eclectic selection of films — from the comedic to the deadly serious — that explore religion in its many manifestations.
Movies include:
605 Adults 304 Children: An immersive and intimate view of the Peoples Temple in Jonestown, Guyana, filmed entirely by its members.
Al Imam: Despite controversy and threats, a Muslim woman takes a stand for justice through activism and a progressive practice of Islam.
I, Pastafari: A Flying Spaghetti Monster Story: With millions of believers worldwide, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the world’s fastest-growing religion, with Pastafarians preaching the message since Prophet Bobby Henderson's open letter to the Kansas School Board went viral in 2005.
This movie is free and open to the public. It is part of the 28th Annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF).
