These Ways I Transgress (2018)
28 Nov 2018 • Documentary • 1h 2m
A fantasia of post-indoctrination, immigration, and iconography. A pageant of wanderers and searchers: Mormon missionaries, a pioneer, polygamists, scouts, hunters, church-goers, and an aspiring prophet walk and walk and walk. A pilgrimage of memory, history, ancestry, and place. An experimental documentary that interrogates and explores the seeds of the filmmaker's own religious indoctrination and eventual apostasy. He returns to Brazil and interviews individuals he baptized twenty years ago. He revisits the European landscapes where his ancestors were converted to Mormonism in the 1800s. He examines the desert places they colonized in the American West. Shot on location in Sweden, England, Northern Ireland, Brazil, upstate New York, the Great Plains, and the state of Utah.
