A truly great documentary
I saw this film last night at the Kansas International Film Festival, and I have to say it's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It lays out the facts of priest child abuse and the Catholic church's cover-up in a clear, compassionate manner while it develops characters in an entertaining, interesting way. Unusual for a documentary, the cinematography is artistic and really excellent, as is the editing. If the topic weren't so volatile, I'd predict an Academy Award nomination for this one. The director was in attendance at the festival and said a deal was in the works for public TV distribution. There are no DVDs available yet but they are being developed. If you're a documentary film buff, the DVD will be well worth whatever the purchase price is just to see the structure of the film in detail. If you have a chance to see "Hand of God" at a festival near your city, by all means do so.
