The first of four installments in the groundbreaking 'Heartbeat of the World' anthology film series. Comprised of several short films by some of the world's most exciting directors, 'Words with Gods' follows the theme of religion - specifically as it relates to an individual's relationship with his/her god or gods...or the lack thereof. In 'Words with Gods', each director recounts a narrative centered around human fragility, as well as environmental and cultural crises involving specific religions with which each has a personal relationship; including early Aboriginal Spirituality, Umbanda, Buddhism, the Abrahamic faiths, Hinduism, and Atheism.
