Film: Constantine's Sword
Constantine's Sword, the latest film by Oscar-nominated director Oren Jacoby, explores the dark side of Christianity, following former Catholic priest James Carroll on a journey of remembrance and reckoning. Focusing on Christian antisemitism as the model for all religious hatred, the film brings to life the history of religious intolerance.
At its heart, Constantine's Sword is a detective story, as Carroll journeys into his own past and into the wider world, where he uncovers evidence of church-sanctioned violence against Jews, Muslims, and others.
