The Street Pastor is the feature-length documentary debut of Hungarian filmmaker Ákos Wéninger. Filmed over the course of two years, the documentary tells a story of faith, compassion, and the everyday lives of people living on the margins of society.

Before turning to documentary filmmaking, Ákos spent many years working in communications and sports media, where storytelling and portraying real people have always been at the heart of his work. As a filmmaker, he is committed to telling authentic stories that bring people closer together and encourage meaningful conversations about important social issues.

For Ákos, The Street Pastor is more than a directorial debut—it is a personal mission to give a voice to people and stories that often remain unseen in everyday life.

"I believe the greatest strength of documentary filmmaking lies in honesty. I want to tell stories about real people that encourage us to see the world around us from a different perspective.

The Street Pastor is my first feature-length documentary. For two years, I followed the work of Reformed pastor Béla Turbucz because I felt that his mission raises important questions about faith, humanity, responsibility, and the possibility of a second chance.

I hope this film not only tells the story of an extraordinary life, but also encourages viewers to pause for a moment and look differently at the people they encounter every day."
