About "Angry People of God":
"Angry People of God" delves into the intense emotional turmoil that erupts during a social get-together among Christians. Deep-seated conflicts arise, testing faith and relationships to their limits. When a black bishop's daughter introduces her white fiancé to her father, it sparks heated discussions about church, interracial marriage, and social injustice.
About "Father":
"Father" is a gripping family drama that portrays a loving but estranged father's struggle to maintain a relationship with his children against the determined efforts of his ex-wife, who uses every tactic possible to keep them apart. The film highlights the father's devotion to his children, driven by his Christian faith and convictions.

The project aims to present the vibrant and diverse worship experience of a Black British church.
