AND PROFOUND QUESTIONS OF OUR TIME,

FILMMAKERS JULES AND GEDEON NAUDET RETURN

 

TO THE NETWORK WITH THEIR FIRST PROJECT SINCE

 

THE MULTIPLE AWARD-WINNING FILM " 9/11 "

 

 

 

IN GOD'S NAME, a CBS primetime special produced in association with the

acclaimed French filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet, will explore the

complex questions of our time through the intimate thoughts and beliefs of

12 of the world's most influential spiritual leaders. These diverse and

powerful voices offer provocative, compelling and enlightening perspective

on myriad issues in our post-9/11 world, including the rise of terrorism,

fanaticism, intolerance and war. The two-hour special will be broadcast

Sunday, Dec. 23 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

 

 

 

On the day of the terrorist attacks in September 2001, Jules and Gedeon

Naudet were caught in the collapse of the World Trade Center. Jules was

shooting inside when the South Tower fell. " On Sept. 11, we faced death and

thought we had lost each other, " said Jules Naudet. " This harrowing

experience was the first step in a journey that would take us around the

world searching for answers to the meaning of life. "

 

 

 

The brothers' quest took them to Egypt, England, India, Israel, Japan,

Lebanon, Russia and the Vatican, as well as Illinois and South Carolina.

 

 

 

" We chose these 12 leaders because of the vast number of believers — more

than four billion — that their faiths represent, " said Gedeon Naudet. " We

also wanted to explore the diversity of spirituality in our world today. "

 

 

 

The program marks the first time that this distinct group of leaders has

appeared in one broadcast. These spiritual beacons speak out about violence

and hatred and reveal their own thoughts about faith, peace, unity,

tolerance and hope. Viewers will see them in intimate settings, including

their homes and personal places of worship. Ultimately, through the eyes of

these 12 very different religious figures, the filmmakers discover the

common ground among believers around the world.

 

 

 

The 12 leaders featured in this special, in alphabetical order, are:

 

 

 

o Alexei II, Patriarch of Moscow and head of the Russian Orthodox Church

 

o Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi), a Hindu spiritual leader

 

o Pope Benedict XVI, head of the Roman Catholic Church

 

o The Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso), spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists

 

o Ayatollah Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah, a prominent Shi'ite Muslim leader

 

o Bishop Mark Hanson, Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church

in America and President of the Lutheran World Federation

 

o Michihisa Kitashirakawa, Jingu Daiguji (High Priest) of the Shinto

Grand Shrine of Ise

 

o Yona Metzger, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel

 

o Dr. Frank Page, President of the Southern Baptist Convention
