Em Busca de Kardec: O Filme
Why watch this film?
"Although he was born in France, Allan Kardec has a profound influence on the faith and beliefs of the Brazilian people. Known as the 'Father of Spiritism', he helped to establish some of the tenets of this religion in the country, anchoring an entire people's belief. In 'In Search of Kardec: The Movie', we follow a filmmaker seeking answers about his daughter's death in the footsteps of Allan Kardec -- traveling through Brazil, France, and Switzerland. It is a journey of pain and grief, but also a breath of hope and self-discovery as we witness the transformation of this protagonist-filmmaker. Special mention should also be made of the interviews conducted, which should leave any follower of Kardecist Spiritism inspired."
