Sacred
The sacred is everywhere—at least in the world captured by this lyrical documentary from director Thomas Lennon. More than 40 filmmakers around the globe agreed to contribute short films about religious ritual, and they’ve been woven together so that we see how people everywhere sacralize life’s major passages. The stories are told by the participants themselves, or with no narration at all, and that intimate approach underscores how much all of us have in common.
