GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 20, 2020 /Standard Newswire/ -- Zondervan announces the first-ever Enneagram film, NINE: THE ENNEAGRAM DOCUMENTARY, will debut in North American theaters fall 2020, featuring internationally renowned Enneagram expert and bestselling author Christopher L. Heuertz.

The documentary, produced in association with Sandoval Studios, marks Zondervan's first foray in producing a film. Zondervan sees film as a way to broaden key messages from its authors to reach a wider audience and is actively exploring this format.

"Chris Heuertz is an unequaled authority on the Enneagram," said Zondervan Books Associate Publisher Stephanie Smith. "Through his books and in-person training, he has helped thousands on their journey to self-discovery and acceptance. With this documentary, Zondervan hopes to share his compelling vision for how the Enneagram can bring hope and compassion into our lives with an even larger audience."

The companion book by Heuertz, titled The Enneagram of Belonging: A Compassionate Journey of Self-Acceptance, with a foreword by bestselling author Brené Brown, released yesterday. Heuertz is also the author of The Sacred Enneagram, that released in 2017 and has sold over 100,000 copies.

"We are proud to partner with Zondervan to create and release this important film about the journey of self-discovery through the lens of compassion," said Mani Sandoval, director of NINE and founder of Sandoval Studios.

NINE follows Heuertz as he journeys across America speaking to people from each of the nine Enneagram profile types, including Morgan Harper Nichols, Ryan O'Neal of Sleeping at Last, Christina Perri, Shirley Chung, and Father Richard Rohr. The diverse guest list is comprised of people from all walks of life – chefs, musicians, labor trafficking survivors, parents, teachers, religious leaders, and more.

Opening in theaters this fall, NINE will leave viewers in awe of the intricacies and beauty of the essences of humanity. In doing this, Heuertz believes the "Enneagram reveals both the ways you get lost and the ways you find your way home to your True Self and to God."

More details about the film release will be announced soon via the website enneagram.movie, where you can sign up for email updates.
