Vera Farmiga's directorial debut, Higher Ground, depicts the landscape of a tight-knit spiritual community thrown off-kilter when one of their own begins to question her faith. Inspired by Carolyn S. Briggs' memoir, 'This Dark World,' the film tells the story of a thoughtful woman's struggles with belief, love and trust. A woman who learns that no matter how many times she loses her footing, she has within herself all that's necessary to get to a higher place.
