Where's god?

A children's television series

In nature, there is one fundamental unity running through all the diversity we see about us. Religions are no exception to the natural law. They are given to mankind so as to accelerate the proceess of realization of fundamental unity.

-Mahatma Gandhi

Children today are surrounded by many cultures and often, by confusing and conflicting information and images. Many find their own unique ways to get their questions answered and make sense of their world. Where’s God? is an exploration, with and for children, of a variety of spiritual paths in today’s world.

Where’s God? tells the story of a young girl’s adventures as she discovers, and participates in, different religious and spiritual ceremonies. She questions authentic spiritual teachers and, through those experiences, reflects the unity, diversity and mystery that she discovers.
The approach will combine elements of drama, documentary and animation in a program that links the wonder of a child to the wisdom of a sage.
