a note from the filmmaker
Almost exactly three years ago, on a trip to visit a friend in Manchester, I met a gentle and light-filled soul named Huw. We connected over similar questions and tensions around faith and belonging that were floating around in both of our hearts. I was moved by the way Huw articulated their complex relationship with the Church of the Nazarene, an institution with a doctrine in direct conflict with their identity.
We stayed in touch over the following months and when I returned to the UK the next year, Huw generously allowed me to follow them around, capturing a bit of their journey as they navigated their future in ministry.
Making this film has been a deeply meaningful and healing act for me and I hope it will be a place where you too can bring your grief, your gratitude, your anger, and your hope. Honored and excited to share it with you soon.
