Glass Darkly Films presents a timely new documentary about René Girard, the thinker who coined "mimetic desire." Offering a deeply personal portrait of Girard the man and a sweeping narrative of his unfolding thought, Things Hidden: The Life and Legacy of René Girard explores the French polymath's passion for intellectual discovery, his midlife religious conversion, and his quest to uncover the violent origins of human culture. The film includes exclusive interviews with Girard, previously unknown archival material, and revelations from his family, friends, and colleagues, taking the viewer deep into the life and career of one of the most inspiring and provocative thinkers of our time.
