Higher Ground

A FILM BY Vera Farmiga

How stimulating, and utterly refreshing, it is to see a movie with a distinctly female voice that deals with faith

- Leonard Maltin, IndieWire

There is something remarkable — you might even say miraculous — about the way “Higher Ground” makes its gentle, thoughtful way across the burned-over terrain of the American culture wars.

- A.O Scott, New York Times

Synopsis

Vera Farmiga's directorial debut, HIGHER GROUND, depicts the landscape of a tight-knit spiritual community thrown off-kilter when one of their own begins to question her faith. Inspired by screenwriter Carolyn S. Briggs' memoir, 'This Dark World', the film tells the story of a thoughtful woman's struggles with belief, love, and trust in human relationships as well as in God.
