Miracle of Praise

Made by: maya newell

Synopsis

Meet Chris, a middle aged church goer who has recently found his 'home' in a West Indian pentecostal church community in London's Shepherd's Bush. For Chris, religion offers more than just God to believe in - a sense of community, acceptance and a belief in life itself. But Chris suffers from OCD and can't stop throwing his things away. Episodes are triggered when he thinks or does something that he deems to be ungodly. His bible always goes first. Is 'Miracle of Praise' enough? Will Chris stay?
