De thuiskomst - Gebod 8 Episode 1

A recycled documentary essay in which filmmaker Jos de Putter gives the eighth commandment an ecological dimension. The premise is that we have plundered nature over the past centuries, making climate change no longer a possibility but a frightening reality. A philosophical and theological layer in the film poses the question of whether a reinterpretation of God's presence in nature would help humanity relate to nature differently, leading us to treat the earth more carefully.

How do you interpret the Ten Commandments today?

Ten filmmakers of varying ages, backgrounds, and experience have explored the deeper meaning of these ancient rules. In the documentaries, they are contrasted with today's multicultural, globalized, and secularized world. A series of ten highly diverse documentaries, each addressing one commandment in its own unique way. The films explore contemporary themes such as identity, friendship, addiction, postcolonialism, morality, and the human impact on nature.
