Synopsis
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 Word, the film tells the story of a thoughtful woman's struggles with belief, love, and trust - in human relationships as well as in God.
