Award-winning documentary. The true story of Father Oliver O'Grady, a convicted child molester and pedifile who molested dozens of children (both male and female), and the cover-up by Bishop Mahoney of the Los Angeles Diocese---a cover up which stretches all the way to Rome and to then Cardinal Benedict, now the Catholic Pope. O'Grady only served 7 years and is now living freely in Ireland.

Genevieve Bujold is an actresses' actress and is quite believable as a shamaness. Kris Kristofferson is quite ...

She learned sometimes love is not enough and that people separate for a variety of reasons in their early years, and often one feels betrayed by the other because that one is more in love with the other than the other is in love with them. In her self-discovery, she goes to Italy and enjoys...

Willem Dafoe plays a Catholic priest who tries to protect a Jewish boy from the Nazis. The story has many touching moments, and the little boy (played by Haley Joel Osment) is very lovable boy and your heart goes out to him. This film shows the courage of those who stand up for what is right. It's well worth watching.
