In God's Name

Asking important questions about the nature of God, this National Geographic program compiles interviews from a range of religious and spiritual leaders around the world, adding the perspective of everyday people to paint a global portrait of faith. Topics covered include: Who or what is God? What is death? What is worth dying for? And how can we explain fanaticism and violence waged in the name of God?

Directed by Jules Naudet, Gédéon Naudet, In God's Name leans on a strong ensemble — Tenzin Gyatso, Benedict XVI, Mata Amritanandamayi Devi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2007.
