The Story of God with Morgan Freeman (Seasons 1–3)

The Story of God with Morgan Freeman (2016) is a National Geographic documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Morgan Freeman travels across multiple continents to ask the world's religions a shared set of questions: what happens after we die, how did different civilisations understand creation, and whether any common thread runs beneath all of it.

The journey takes him into Egyptian burial chambers, Hindu temples, Jewish synagogues, evangelical communities and places that resist easy categorisation. Freeman doesn't conduct studio interviews — he sits with locals, monks, theologians and scientists in the places where they actually live and practice. The series accumulates perspectives rather than building toward a conclusion, which turns out to be the right call.

What makes it work is Freeman himself — he's not a theologian and he's not looking to provoke. He just asks. Stream The Story of God with Morgan Freeman online on iFILM.
