In an unprecedented attempt to heal centuries of racism and antisemitism, and combat the rising racial and ethnic tension in their Brooklyn communities, activist Rabbi Rachel Timoner teams up with Baptist Reverend Robert Waterman to unite their congregations. As their faith is put to the test, both congregations struggle to not let their differences drive them apart. ALL GOD'S CHILDREN follows their journey, offering a powerful blueprint for how other communities might bridge divides and foster true unity. This compelling narrative lays the foundation for an impact campaign that could ignite transformative change far beyond Brooklyn.

Lisa Kennedy Variety All God’s Children follows this Jewish woman and this Black man as they try to unify their congregations in worship -- it does not go smoothy -- which makes this straightforward film so consequential and instructive. Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Olivia Haynie The Forward The film could have painted a simpler picture of intercultural unity. [But it] refuses to shy away from how difficult and emotional the work can be, which is what makes the film so powerful. Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily All God’s Children is unusual in that, although it, too, is very much in and about the present moment, it’s a film that’s also in dialogue -- thoughtfully, and powerfully -- with the past. Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine All God’s Children is a tough film that may have audiences of all faiths squirming in their seats. However, viewers should emerge enlightened and ready to listen. Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Explores 5yrs of interfaith partnership in Brooklyn between Park Slope synagogue and Bed-Stuy Black Baptist church – it’s not easy to live and learn, from miscommunication to misunderstandings. More a warning about difficulties than inspiration model. Rated: 7/10 Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
