FEATURE FILMS
Kharis Productions’ feature films combine creativity with the extensive organisational and production management skills involved in directing casts of hundreds - sometimes including children and animals – as well as scores of technical crew. Although creative and organisational skills are involved in every production, they are never more tested than in the making of a feature film. The Kharis team has two feature films in its portfolio: Stripes of the Zebra and The Eastern Bride, produced through the Kharis sister company, MakMovies. Film locations include South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Taiwan and China.
Each of these films has been shown across the world, with dubbed soundtracks in several languages.
The theme common to both films is the unjust persecution of religious minorities.

Against the Tide
Released in late 2020, Against the Tide was commissioned originally for cinemas in the USA. It tells the story of Oxford Professor John Lennox’s stand, for the explanatory power of the Christian worldview in an increasingly secular society. Taking on the giants of atheism, the professor -accompanied by actor Kevin Sorbo (of TV series Hercules fame) travels from Oxford to Israel to unpack the evidence in science and in history. Soon available on Blu Ray, the film has also been versioned as a two-part documentary series for TV.
