Written and directed by Daniel Kokotajlo, a former Jehovah's Witness, 'Apostasy' is a remarkable and authentic debut film that provides rare insight into the complex nature of faith, family, duty and love - and we're lucky enough to have Daniel on the podcast to talk through his assured and compelling first feature.

As devout Jehovah's Witnesses, sisters Alex and Luisa and their mother, Ivanna, are united in The Truth. But when Luisa starts to question the advice of the Elders, she makes a life-altering transgression that threatens to expel her from the congregation. Discussing 'Apostasy' this week are Kelly Powell, Sam Howlett and Alasdair Bayman.
