Director's Cuts: Faith

Human beings stand alone among the creatures on Earth because of their search for reasons, their application of moral arguments to the things they do. This faith in a personal narrative that explains life can as often be destructive as positive. A belief in religion can fight with a belief in the power of sexual attraction. A tragedy can leave someone frozen in the belief that action has no purpose or that they have been abandoned because of something they failed to do the right way. Faith in redemption can lead some to hope when there are no outward reasons to do so, or to perform heroic acts of self denial. Those consumed by loss may lose themselves in a fantasy to avoid the “real” world they cannot face. Finally, faith combined with resolute purpose and strength of mind can stand against all odds. All of the films chosen approach faith in different ways, united only in depicting the nobility available to all humans when their faith includes respect and love for others.
