Film explores Da Vinci craze

Die populariteit van Dan Brown se boek The Da Vinci Code dui op 'n wydversrpeide ontevredenheid met georganiseerde godsdiens. Dit is die perspektief van 'n nuwe dokumentere rolprent oor die boek.

Toronto - A new documentary film screened this week in Toronto about author Dan Brown's hugely popular The Da Vinci Code reveals a widespread dissatisfaction with organised religion, the director told AFP.

"This was a spiritual road trip, a search for meaning," said Emmy award-winning veteran director Jonathan Stack at the packed screening of his film Secrets of the Code at Toronto's Hot Docs film festival.

Many documentaries have been made about the book, he said, but their aim was to debunk it.

"We were not trying to prove Dan Brown wrong or right, but to understand the root causes of the phenomenon," he said on Monday night.
