Produced and directed by the acclaimed French filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet, In God's Name explores the complex questions of our time through the intimate thoughts and beliefs of 12 of the world's most influential spiritual leaders. These diverse and powerful voices offer provocative, compelling and enlightening perspective on myriad issues in our post-9/11 world, including the rise of terrorism, fanaticism, intolerance and war. In God's Name marks the first time that this distinct group of leaders has appeared in one program allowing the viewer to see them in intimate settings, including their homes and personal places of worship. These spiritual beacons speak out about violence and hatred and reveal their own thoughts about faith, peace, unity, tolerance and hope. Ultimately, through the eyes of these 12 very different religious figures, the filmmakers discover the common ground among believers around the world.
