1994; 55 minutes
Movies with religious characters raise an issue that has bedeviled Hollywood time and time again: does the entertainment industry present an unfair and unnecessarily negative view of religion and people of faith? In this provocative one-hour television documentary, PBS film critic Michael Medved examines this question using clips from more than fifty well-known movies that illustrate some of the best and worst depictions of organized faith in contemporary films.
Fascinating and disturbing.
