Higher Ground

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.

“Corinne's journey is riveting not because she seeks the divine, but because she finds herself.”

— Jeannette Catsoulis, NPR
