The actor who is known for playing
larger than life characters (including ‘God’ in a number of movies),
joins hands with Nat Geo to seek to understand how religion has evolved
through the course of civilization, and how it has shaped the evolution
of society.
Commenting on the exclusive series,
Swati Mohan, Business Head, India, FOX Networks Group said, “National
Geographic has always taken topics of global significance and presented
them as powerful stories to viewers. Story of God reinforces our
commitment to give viewers unprecedented access to not just pertinent
locations and unique content, but also world class talent and
storytelling. Legendary actor Morgan Freeman narrating extraordinary
stories of different beliefs, faiths and cultures, on an epic journey
around the world – this is as grand as it gets.
The series will take viewers on a trip
around the world to explore different cultures and religions. India
being a country of many faiths and religions, has been a strong focus in
the series with large portions shot in Varanasi and Bodhgaya. The other
locations include Jerusalem’s Wailing Wall, Mayan temples in Guatemala
and the pyramids of Egypt.
