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.

VIBE

A quiet, intimate exploration of spiritual questioning. It feels like a hushed conversation in a dimly lit room, grappling with profound doubts and the search for belonging within a rigid community.
