The award-winning director of Midnight Family returns with a tender portrait of chaplains working in America's health system.
A very powerful film about a profession we don't think much about.
Director Luke Lorentzen's Oscar®-shortlisted A Still Small Voice follows Mati, a chaplain completing a year-long hospital residency, as she learns to provide spiritual care to people confronting profound life changes. Through Mati’s experiences with her patients, her struggle with professional burnout and her own spiritual questioning, we gain new perspectives on how meaningful connection can be and how painful its absence is.
Following his award-winning 2019 documentary Midnight Family – now evolving into an upcoming narrative fiction series – director Luke Lorentzen's follow-up continues to bring light to the oft-overlooked caregivers working in the periphery of the healthcare sector. The chaos of his earlier film is replaced by a remarkable sensitivity imbued throughout.
A Still Small Voice premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival where it received the Directing Award in the US Documentary field.
This special screening will be followed by a Q&A with the documentary's co-producer and additional editor Ashleigh McArthur.
