Description From award-winning documentary theatre maker David Williams, comes a surprising journey into the world of the quietly, progressively faithful.

The place of Christian faith in Australian politics is often linked to conservatism and intolerance. Many members of the current Federal Government profess deep Christian beliefs and groups such as the Australian Christian Lobby loudly intervene in public policy debates.

Yet, new faith-based social movements such as Love Makes A Way, actively campaign against government policies. The spectacle of religious leaders undertaking non-violent acts of civil disobedience, including prayer vigils in the offices of Christian politicians, has captured the imaginations of many.

'Quiet Faith' has been generated from hours of interviews with Christian Australians, including some from the Albury Wodonga community. Beautiful, immersive, full of musicality and heart, 'Quiet Faith' is an antidote to despair about religion and politics, offering a portrait of the very different ways that faith can underpin civic life.
