ACT OF GOD Is being hit by lightning a random natural occurrence or a predestined event? Accidents, chance, fate and the elusive quest to make sense out of tragedy underpin director Jennifer Baichwal's (MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES) captivating new work, an elegant cinematic meditation on the metaphysical effects of being struck by lightning. To explore these profound questions, Baichwal sought out riveting personal stories from around the world--from a former CIA assassin and a French storm chaser to writer Paul Auster and improvisational musician Fred Frith. Opening Night Selection, 2009 Hot Docs; Official Selection, 2009 SILVERDOCS and Karlovy Vary Film Festivals.
