The Man Who Sued God
Directed by Mark Joffe
Produced by Empress Road Productions, New South Wales Film & Television Office
A clever, good-natured legal comedy that uses an absurd premise—suing God through the Church—to explore faith, insurance bureaucracy, and one man's righteous frustration.
A lawyer becomes a fisherman from frustration. When his one piece of property, his boat, is struck by lightning and destroyed he is denied insurance money because it was “an act of God”. He re-registers as a lawyer and sues the insurance company and, as God’s representative, The Church.
