Inheritors of the Faith follows the journeys of other African-Americans who sought a spiritual experience outside of Christianity, in the traditions of Islam and Yoruba. It plots the growth of the Nation of Islam under the leadership of Elijah Muhammad. After his death, his son, Warith, made a departure from his father's teachings and led the Nation of Islam towards a more orthodox Islamic practice.
Yoruba is a spiritual tradition that originated in West Africa. It pre-dates Christianity. Yoruba worshipers find a means of gaining strength and spirituality from within.
