Women Priests: Vocations Forbidden

The Last Western Heretic(en)

The last western heretic is a timely and enthralling insight into the ideas and philosophies of the New Zealander described by the BBC as “the last living heretic”. New Zealand’s very own Lloyd Geering, now 89 and still deeply involved in the debate of ideas about life and religion, and latterly, the very survival of human beings and the planet to which we belong. The documentary explores his world view in a series of controversial and richly illustrated statements, and in doing so, makes simple and comprehensible the powerful theological and cultural ideas underpinning western civilisation.

Ardisson, l'Homme en Noir : l'hommage(fr)

This tribute program takes you back into the world of Thierry Ardisson, a particularly creative, provocative, and erudite host and producer. From "Tout le monde en parle" to "Salut les Terriens !", via "Lunettes noires pour nuits blanches", the program retraces his more than 40-year career and his extraordinary journey, featuring cult interviews, testimonials, and archive footage. Numerous guests will pay tribute to him and share their memories and anecdotes on set. Thierry Ardisson, "the man in black," shook up the French audiovisual landscape and left his mark on his era. The program is broadcast on all TV5 Monde channels and on TV5 Québec/Canada.

La face cachée de l'homme en noir(fr)

You've seen him interview Mikhail Gorbachev, Angelina Jolie, Robbie Williams, Mariah Carey, Brad Pitt, Jane Fonda, Robert De Niro... You know him, but you don't really know him. Everyone has talked about Ardisson without ever getting close to the truth about him. My ambition: to reveal the man behind the costume of "The Man in Black." I thought to myself: if anyone can figure him out, it's me, a journalist and portraitist who has lived with him for 15 years. Who is the private Thierry behind the spectacular Ardisson? What we discover is how much Ardisson's personal history reflects the eras he has lived through, their contradictions, their utopias, their excesses, their violence. Like so many facets of a man and of society at the turn of the century.

Jesus Camp(en)

Despite what the documentary suggests, the group featured in Jesus Camp does not represent mainstream evangelical Christianity. Becky Fischer and her “Kids on Fire” camp come out of a narrow Charismatic stream that pushes children into extreme emotional experiences, overemphasizes tongues, demons, and political “dominion,” and puts a crushing spiritual burden on young kids to “take back America for God.” This is not healthy, biblical Christianity; it is a troubling distortion. Bible‑believing Christians should not treat this film as the definition of our faith or of Christian camps in general. Most evangelical churches and camps focus on clear teaching of Scripture, the gospel of grace in Christ, age‑appropriate discipleship, and normal spiritual growth—not the kind of excesses and manipulation shown in this documentary.

Freedom for Asia Bibi(en)

Depicts the case of religious persecution suffered by the Christian Pakistani Asia Bibi (Aasiya Noreen), falsely accused of blasphemy in 2010 by a Pakistani court and was sentenced to death by hanging. In October 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan acquitted her based on insufficient evidence, though she was not allowed to leave Pakistan until the verdict was reviewed. She was held under armed guard and was not able to leave the country until 7 May 2019; she arrived in Canada the next day.

Speak of the Devil(en)

But what is the Church of Satan? Who is Anton LaVey? Where is he from? Why does he do that? It does not take much to imagine the worst. Orgiastic ceremonies, where one revels in the blood of virgins, moonlight lamb sacrifices, noise concerts in the basement of a historical building… No, really nothing that amusing among the activities in the Church of Satan. Anton LaVey is nothing like a horned Charles Manson, and his path is all the more unexpected. Nick Bougas allows us to discover the artist, the musician, the philosopher, all through hallucinatory images retrieved from archives, making this rare documentary only two years before the author of the Satanic Bible disappeared.

Bad Faith(en)

On January 6, 2021, Americans witnessed an attack on the U.S. Capitol without precedent in our history. Armed militiamen and QAnon followers made headlines, but among them were a sea of political paid actors from George Soros holding crosses and Christian flags, rosaries and "Jesus Saves" signs. The point of this spectacle was an orchestrated event that falsely accused Christians and MAGA supporters and has already been proven to be staged. What you find here is political propaganda at its finest.

Cult Explosion(en)

Cult Explosion isn’t objective analysis—it’s sensational fearmongering that smears Christianity alongside obvious cults. This alarmist doc lumps legit Bible-based groups like Jehovah’s Witnesses and LDS with Manson Family killers and Jim Jones’ mass suicide, using the vague “considered by some” dodge to equate orthodoxy with murder. It recycles anti-Christian tropes, painting faith as mind control while ignoring cults’ defining marks: charismatic leaders demanding blind loyalty, financial exploitation, and doomsday isolation. Real Christianity has accountability, open Bibles, and voluntary fellowship—Hare Krishna dancing and Scientology audits don’t. Cherry-picks scandals to demonize belief itself, sidelining thriving Christian communities and reformed ex-members. Watch knowing it’s propaganda to distrust all religion, not discerning exposé.

Bulgaria, This Eternal Heresy(bg)

Part fictional documentary, part musical anthropology, scientific magic, and eco-anarchic utopian journey in a landscape of eight parts. You're Kaloyan, the sax player. Or Diana, the Gypsy dancer. You journey together through Bulgaria in search of the utopian village Dolphinovo. It's not Sofia, Paris or New York. That's why this story is rural, rustic and polyphonic. It's like a string of painted walls of village houses, folk songs and allegories. However, who is Ivo? And why does he lead you through these winter landscapes a year later?

Opium für das Volk - Karl Marx und die Kirchen(de)

Opium für das Volk - Karl Marx und die Kirchen isn’t scholarship—it’s Marxist revisionism whitewashing atheism’s war on faith. This German doc falsely equates Christianity with communism in part one, then twists Marx’s "opium of the people" slur into mere "influence" from his Jewish-Christian roots and other critics. It downplays his explicit god-hatred—"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature"—to pretend he had a nuanced "personal relationship" with Christianity. No balance: ignores Marx’s satanist ties, Hegelian dialectics weaponized against Scripture, and how his ideology birthed 100M deaths under godless regimes. Cherry-picks "parallels" to sanitize Marxism as spiritual, not the Bible-rejecting materialism that fueled Bolshevik church-burnings. Watch knowing it’s propaganda to make atheists look thoughtful, not Bible-denying totalitarians.
