MY FAITH

4 €

-A film series by Cathrine Marchen Asmussen.

Year: 2018 (1-4) and 2020 (5-6)

Format: Streaming

The first 6 films are available.

 

12 children and 12 different faiths. They might all seem very different, but in fact our protagonists have a whole lot in common through their faiths. They share the feeling of being connected to something bigger than themselves; whether they hug trees, greet the angels on their shoulders, imagine life after death or the cure of God. The films about Mira, Natalie, Asmir and Lukas are the first 4 films out of 12, while we follow Deenpal and Leah in film 5 and 6. The stories depict religion as the children themselves experience it; something that brings them security and joy, excitment and mystery, as well as some quite specific tools to handle everyday life.

 

”It’s just like having a teddy bear that you really love and that have been with you since you were born. My faith is somehow my teddy bear” – Natalie, 11 years old.
