The Wayfarer is an intriguing and informative new film about one young man’s journey around the world to understand the Bahá’í faith – its beliefs, its humanitarian efforts, and its ongoing struggle against persecution. Filmmaker Jess Firth first encountered the Faith while visiting an old school-friend from New Zealand who now works at the Baha’i World Centre. Intrigued by what he saw of this new religion, Jess set out on a year-long journey through five different countries, meeting Bahá’ís, experiencing their holy places, questioning their beliefs and visiting their development projects
