The Faith of an Observer: Conversations with Hugh Nibley

  • Brian Capener: Writer
  • Peter G. Czerny: Film Editor
  • Roger Hoffman: Composer
  • Peter N. Johnson: Producer
  • Sterling Van Wagenen: Producer
Brian Capener’s evocative film includes conversations with the esteemed and eccentric Hugh Nibley about war, money, Abraham, etc. "Beautifully filmed on location among the ancient temples and pyramids of Egypt, along the beaches of Normandy, and against the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, this documentary takes you on a fascinating journey of discovery and enlightenment as it explores various aspects of Hugh Nibley's life and teachings. Insightful commentaries by Elder Neal A. Maxwell, Truman G. Madsen, and other friends and family members provide a greater understanding of this almost legendary figure"--Container.
