What is NUA?
NUA is all about exploration; videos that encourage questions, acknowledge doubt and offer an engaging perspective on the Christian faith. We have lots of different series to choose from.
What Does NUA mean?
NUA / nu: ʌ / noo-ah /
Language of origin: Irish
Adjective, meaning “new”
We’re taking an honest look at questions many of us have about Jesus, the Bible, and what it means to be a Christian. Our videos offer a fresh perspective, a different conversation—produced in Ireland. These are new films and they’re Irish, so we’re calling them NUA. It’s as simple as that, really!
Scripture Union Ireland (SU)
NUA Films is a Scripture Union Ireland Resource, which is an interdenominational organisation working closely with churches of all denominations helping young people engage with Jesus and His teachings. Many years ago the SU team and lead producer Jonny Somerville saw the need for good quality faith resources that could be used by Youth workers and Teachers - out of that grew NUA FILMS. Each NUA series could not be produced without the talents and dedication of the SU team, volunteers and ministry collaborators. There are many volunteers and theological commentators that assist from scriptwriting to film production.
