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 who struggles with belief, love, and trust, and 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.
