Religious studies

Life of Pi offers audiences ways into thinking about different religious beliefs and to reflect on fundamental questions and issues about identity, belonging, meaning, purpose, truth and values.

You will explore how the film helps us to learn about faith, how we define morality and how certain religions are both similar and different.

Watch the trailer and this film clip and discuss as a class what fundamental questions about life you think Life of Pi might raise.
