Feature Narrative(Philadelphia Premiere)

The Prophet (O Profeta)

A black-and-white film still from The Prophet shows a pregnant Black woman sitting behind a Black man. The woman is facing the front and looks down solemnly. She wears a patterned dress and bandana. The man is facing the left and also looks down. He is wearing a light-toned dress shirt.

A kindhearted pastor struggling with his faith seeks help in obscure powers, and it all goes well until it doesn’t.
