Morgan Freeman

Today, for better or worse, the power of religion touches all of our lives, no matter what our faith. This is Morgan Freeman's journey to discover how our beliefs connect us all. This is the quest of our generation. This is the Story of God.

Morgan visits Pompeii to learn how Vesuvius was seen as divine retribution, and travels to Jerusalem to see the oldest copy of the Ten Commandments.

In the greatly anticipated third season of The Story of God with Morgan Freeman, the legendary Academy Award winner continues his groundbreaking adventure. Morgan travels to ancient religious sites and modern-day centers of spiritual meaning to participate in dazzling cultural spectacles and hear moving personal stories. He explores the ways different religions shape our lives and the underlying themes that our faiths have in common. In this episode Morgan Freeman explores the role that the devil plays in various religions. From the ascetic monks in the Judean desert to the Buddhists of Nepal, he'll learn what purpose the figure of the devil serves.

Morgan Freeman delves into why many religious believers desire to see God in human form - and how that strengthens their faith. From a living Kumari Goddess in the mountains of Nepal, to the Crown of Thorns many Christians believe was worn by Jesus during the crucifixion, Morgan will discover that these tangible connections help people make sense of the divine.

Sin is a part of the human condition. But can we conquer it? Morgan Freeman travels the world, from California to Italy to Vietnam, to understand how different faiths think of and deal with sin. He'll learn about the bloody Medieval practice of self-flagellation, the mysterious Sin Eaters, and the Confucian view of sin. He'll also meet a man who is trying to atone for his years as an executioner.

Morgan meets an executioner who had a change of heart, uncovers the origins of self-flagellation, and talks to John McCain’s Vietnam jailer about sin.

When Acid Jazz founder Eddie Piller asked Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, Sherlock, The Office) to do a jazz radio show they could hardly imagine the response. From around the world emails and tweets inundated the show and they swore to themselves that they couldn't leave it there. Now, two years on this compilation of their favourite jazz has arrived. From the rolling hard bop of Lee Morgan and Art Blakey, via screaming soul organ, jazz funk original acid jazz onwards to the post modern sprititual jazz of Kasami Washington, this is an incredible journey.
