Priest
In a world of rituals, in a place of secrets, a man must choose between keeping the faith and exposing the truth.
Directed by Antonia Bird
Produced by BBC Film
A morally complex drama that uses the crisis of faith within a Catholic priest to interrogate institutional hypocrisy, sexual abuse, and the collision between religious doctrine and human truth.
The deeply held religious convictions of an idealistic young priest are challenged when he must face extraordinary events within his own congregation.
