A poet preaches death and miracles from a carnival ride — buckle up, philosophy nerds.
An Idea Film. A Bookumentary. A cinematic treatment of a worldview. A poet live in concert. A motion picture sermon. VH1 Storytellers meets Planet Earth. In this unusual but fascinating film sequence, best-selling author N.D. Wilson gives an emotional and intellectual tour of life in this world and the final chapter that is death. Everything before and after and in between is a series of miracles - some of which are encouraging, others disturbing and uncomfortable.
Writing
Wilson's prose sparkles like C.S. Lewis on espresso.
Direction
Intimate camera work makes a lecture feel like confession.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Wilson is son of theologian Doug Wilson, placing this in a lineage of Christian intellectuals who reject preachy safety for artistic risk.
The 'Bookumentary' format Wilson pioneered here influenced later faith-based filmmaking to prioritize poetic image over conversion narrative.
