How we choose
films

What we show. Films that make us wonder about the universe, God and each other. Listing a film is not a recommendation; we describe it plainly, without mocking it or its fans.

What we don't. We never show God, a prophet or Mary on our own pages: no posters, stills or trailers that picture them. Films that show a prophet, such as The Chosen or The Prince of Egypt, appear in words only. We signpost them; we never play them here. Some, like Noah, get no watch link at all.

Ages. Every film carries its UK certificate from the BBFC and a short content note first. Big ideas on screen is for ages 16 and over, or a parent choosing for the family. Nothing from that shelf appears in Young Explorers.

Clips and the law. UK copyright law lets anyone quote a short part of a film to review it, discuss it or teach with it, as long as the maker is credited and only what is needed is used (Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, sections 30 and 32). We do just that, link where you can watch the whole film, and never use a film's logo or characters as our own.

Got something wrong? If a picture shows a prophet, a note is unfair to your faith, or you made a film and want it changed or removed, use the contact link at the foot of the page. We will look promptly and put it right.

One rule for every faith

One rule for every faith. We list channels that speak for their own tradition in their own words: Jewish, Christian, Muslim, interfaith, and Sikh, Hindu and other traditions as we add them. Each faith gets the same space and the same checks. Where a channel is wholly about faith, learning or wonder, we list the channel. Where it also carries politics, debate for sport, or attacks on another faith, we link only single videos we have watched, and say why. We never list organisations on our exclusion list, whichever faith they come from. A listing is a signpost, not a partnership or an endorsement, and if a channel changes, we look again.
