Readers and fans worldwide know the land of Narnia and the magical
beings who dwell there - but few know the genius who created this
beloved fantasy.
Now meet C. S. Lewis, an extraordinary creative force, in this
engaging true life story, filmed in Oxford, England where he lived
worked and imagined The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and the
other tales that make up the beloved The Chronicles of Narnia.
C.S. Lewis was a man of extraordinary giftedness who possessed an
astonishing ability to present complicated concepts and ideas in
easily comprehensible and non-intimidating ways. When, as an
adult, he grabbed hold of Christianity - or as he would say, when
Christianity grabbed hold of him - Lewis became one of its
greatest apologists.
C.S. Lewis: Beyond Narnia focuses on the life of this
extraordinary apologist, academic and writer of the well-known and
much-loved children's books, The Chronicles of Narnia. He was, in
his way, a dangerous man who threatened the dry, intellectualism
of his donnish colleagues as well as the restrictive conservatism
of post war Christian religion. In the middle of it all Narnia was
born and as consecutive young audiences have always been the first
to realize, Narnia needs no justification. Narnia lives and speaks
for itself... And speaks for Lewis.
