Release Year: 2010
Synopsis:
In a world where the intersection of identity, faith, and personal transformation is often fraught with tension, Thy Will Be Done (2010), directed by Alice Bouvrie, stands as a profound and intimate documentary that explores the life of Sara Herwig—a transgender woman navigating the complexities of gender, religion, and family within the context of her call to ministry in the Presbyterian Church (USA).
The documentary follows Herwig's journey to ordination and the impact her decision to transition has on her personal and familial relationships. More than just a story of individual transformation, the film also delves into the broader implications of how faith communities, and in particular the Presbyterian Church, respond to the issues of gender identity and inclusion.
Through the lens of Sara Herwig’s personal narrative, Thy Will Be Done examines the transformative power of faith and identity, the challenges of living authentically, and the potential for reconciliation in the face of deep familial rifts.
