Marcial Maciel: The Wolf of God
Four parts on the founder of the Legionaries of Christ: a man who raised extraordinary sums for the Church while abusing dozens of minors under its protection. Survivors speak on camera, and the machinery that kept them quiet for fifty years is laid out piece by piece beside them.
The Synanon Fix
A California drug program praised by presidents reinvents itself as a religion, then as something considerably darker. Former members describe the shaved heads, the marriages reassigned by order, and the night the whole thing tipped over.
Apocalypse in the Tropics
Evangelical power moves from the pulpit into the halls of Brasília. A portrait of the preacher-kingmakers who reshaped a democracy, filmed close enough to hear what gets promised in the corridor.
Dom Orani, Construtor de Paz
In Production
A cardinal walks into prisons and hillside parishes in Rio de Janeiro. This film follows his life, tracing a fifty-year vocation from a country ordination in the interior of São Paulo to the archbishop's chair. Releasing as part of the archdiocese's jubilee year.
