Believers

Religion remains one of the most polarizing topics of our time. Across societies, people ask: Do we still need religion? Does it constrain our understanding, or shape the world we inhabit? Whatever your stance, it's undeniable that worship continues to influence many lives, while others struggle to grasp differing perspectives. Believers offers a distinctive examination of these questions by centering on five major belief systems, alongside Agnosticism and the contemporary New Atheism. The film charts Sacha Sewhdat's intimate journey toward insight as he seeks to discern the value of faith in modern life. With candor and nuance, Sacha probes what it means to place trust in a higher power—and what it would entail to relinquish those beliefs. The documentary promises to both illuminate and challenge your perceptions of religion in the 21st century.
