Suffering pervades our lives. Often it seems meaningless. Why is there suffering? How is it interpreted in different worldviews? Does suffering refute the existence of a good and almighty god? Does suffering make sense?
How can we cope with suffering?
This documentary introduces very different people: some explain very profound philosophical thoughts about suffering, the meaning of life and God, others are suffering themselves from incurable diseases or are survivors of
a genocide…
But all of them want to encourage us to be engaged with the question of suffering and not to resign.
