The Story of God with Morgan Freeman
Channel: SABC2
TX Time: 20h30
Genre: Documentary Series, Religion
At a time when the world appears to be fractured along religious lines, this series searches for common ground.
Your guide on this journey is Morgan Freeman, who speaks to people from all cultures and faiths with an easy intimacy, and his fascination with the subject of religion is palpable and genuine.
Each episode examines a different big theme: Why do we need Chosen Ones? What are Heaven and Hell? Can we find Proof of God?
To explore each of these topics, Freeman met with followers of every kind of religion, from a 9-year-old boy in Minnesota who claims to be a reincarnated Tibetan Lama, to a woman who "speaks in tongues" as part of her Pentecostal faith, to a man who claims to have felt God's presence when he survived the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
Around the world these themes come alive in the Golden Temple of the Sikh faithful in India, the Christian celebration of Meskel in Ethiopia, and the piercing rituals of the Nine Emperor Gods Festival in Thailand.
Morgan's journey shows that these questions are universal human concerns, no matter which religion we adhere to.
