Oscar award-winning actor Morgan Freeman was in Kenya last year and during his time in the country, he visited Machakos for a TV shoot for his TV series ‘The Story of God with Morgan Freeman.’
The 81-year-old interviewed Dr. Charles Mulli, a celebrated social entrepreneur and the founder of Mully Children’s Family. The interview was part of episode three, titled ‘Visions of God’ that aired on March 19, on Nat Geo.
“In some places I found answers, and others led to more questions. The constant through it all is that we’re all looking to be part of something bigger than us. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that we certainly are,” Freeman said in a statement Kiss 100 reported.
Morgan who played Nelson Mandela in the 2009 film invictus has been exploring the meaning of life, God, and many big questions in between in an effort to understand how religion has evolved and shaped society. A different divine subject is covered in each hour-long episode of his show.
To explore these topics, host and narrator Freeman visits nearly 20 cities in seven countries to see some of the world’s greatest religious sites, among them Jerusalem’s Wailing Wall, India’s Bodhi Tree, Mayan temples in Guatemala, and the pyramids of Egypt. Viewers watch the award-winning actor immerses himself in religious experiences and rituals, in his quest to understand the story of God. On his show, Freeman has interviewed victims of exorcism and has also gone in search of the devil.
He traveled all the way to Kenya and spent time at the Mully Children’s Family, a Christian, non-governmental organization that works with disadvantaged people to transform their lives and help them lead dignified lives. Dr. Charles Mulli sat down with Freeman and discussed his visions of God.
The story of Charles Mully has been narrated in a documentary film titled ‘Mully’, directed by Scott Haze, which was released in October 2017.
