Experiencing Interruptions?

The Lost Sapiens

This is a primal confrontation of an individual with our species' unique ability to have faith. An individual reckons with organized religion and their family heritage, believing God is larger than one sect but the origin of biodiversity.

Director Statement

There is a growing lack of faith among my academic peers. Many of whom associate being faithful with being uneducated. Stories that discuss the diversity of individual beliefs and the moral conflicts they inherently evoke intrigue me. Due to religious disagreements in my family, I was baptized twice in both Catholic and Lutheran churches.

What are acts of Justice? I used these terms in the film as they relate to the legal model of today's society and the vocabulary we use to define how to act. In this film, I strive to connect the divine system and the language through which we see the world. Putting myself in the experience of both the persecuted and the persecutor, I speak, "I fear my ability to be unjust. And I fear my inability to love those who do injustice”. Confessing my struggle to live in alinement with my moral beliefs.
