What Is Religion?After all, who is God? is a documentary series that aims to explore children's views on spirituality. Moving away from a didactic narrative about rites and liturgies, the aim of the series is to build understandings through the playful and spontaneous thinking of the children's universe. The series presents 11 religious cultures: indigenous Mbya-Guarani's pipe, African batuque's drums, evangelical praise, the ayahuasca Vegetal Union, Buddhist meditation, the evolutionist belief of atheists, among others.From Academic Video Online
