Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero (2002)
Beautiful and profound
Without a hint of sentimentality, this documentary examines the most profound of all religious questions: If God exists, and God is good, how does such evil exist in the world? Through interviews with pastors and priests and rabbis as well as with homemakers and cab drivers and fire fighters, this question and the question about how ones faith is strengthened or weakened as a result of 9/11 are examined. The documentary takes no position on these questions - it simply raises them and allows others to answer for themselves with no judgment or comment. The scenes from 9/11 include many I've never seen in spite of watching countless videos about the event. It is impossible to view this documentary without being moved emotionally and challenged to examine ones own faith in light of the event. It is, in a strange way, beautiful and profound.
