Raw Faith is an intimate and revealing documentary that follows two years in the private life of Marilyn Sewell, an outspoken and socially progressive Unitarian minister who has re-energized her Portland community. While serving a community that relies on her for wisdom and advice (on both personal and ethical issues), Marilyn struggles quietly with decisions about her own future. As her life unfolds in front of the camera (in real time), she shares her journey with remarkable candour, humour and increasing wisdom, ultimately leading her to an unexpected revelation of faith and love in all its guises
