(Part 1 of 8) Worlds apart is a beautiful, conflicted portrait of a girl who must choose between being a Jehovah's Witness and love. This is a well-done film about a very real cult and its practices without portraying them as inherently crazy or evil. In the last scene, the girl in the train who looks up and smiles at Sara is the "real life-Sara". Her name is Tabita, and the director got the inspiration for the film from reading her story in a national Danish newspaper in 2006.

  • I thought it was wonderful that this was depicted in fiction......I had not seen MY childhood religion in any film ever.

  • @DJN1029 Since when did happiness equal truth?

  • "what did she gain?"

    Freedom. There is a big difference between 'seeming' happy and 'being' happy and content. Almost all cult members 'seem happy' because that's how they're programmed to appear.  A great number of Jehovah's Witnesses, however, who appear happy to the public, are taking or need to take anti-depressant medication to help them cope with the near-constant cognitive dissonance in their lives. They'll call themselves 'the happiest people on earth' at the same time.

  • She seemed so much happier in the beginning of the movie then in the end, and doesn't even have that boyfriend anymore ..what did she gain ??
