Director Statement

We found this weird, new religion that none of us had heard anything about before and became really curious about what it actually meant to believe in a flying spaghettimonster. This documentary shows how something that sounds silly to some, can be dead serious for others. Jakob Farian is also a great eksempel of how important it is to fight and stand up for what you believe in.
