Roy Anker explores some of cinema's most profound depictions of human beings searching for meaning in life. The films he delves into - American Beauty, The Shawshank Redemption, E.T., and others - are, with few exceptions, not overtly religious. Yet he succeeds in drawing together some of the most religiously provovative movies of our time.
