the Atheist
4.8
“The film sparked controversy before its release”
The events deal with the idea of religious extremism and atheism affecting young people and its impact on society. A tense dramatic thriller about a respected public figure whose private doubts trigger a chain of events that shake his family and community. As secrets surface, the film explores belief, identity, and the cost of truth in a tightly-knit society.
