This film is shared with permission and is not to be used for commercial purposes.

5 children, 5 religions, 5 prayers. The Mercadantes (2015). In this short film, it shows us how five children with different religions pray every day. You see children from around the world, carefully pull on their best clothes and get ready to go to their houses of worship. They have different religions (Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Christian), but when they pray, they look quite similar. It’s a beautiful piece of art about spiritual reflection.
