Come Sunday
Oscar nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) is Carlton Pearson, a man who goes from beloved bishop to being labelled a heretic when he preaches that there is no Hell - as told to him by God. Based on an episode of This American Life, the film co-stars Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out), Jason Segel (The Muppets) and screen legends Danny Glover and Martin Sheen.

The Guardian
