Frontline: "Hand of God"

[Pangloss]

Another powerful episode of Frontline is airing this week on PBS. The first new ep of 2007, the show consists of a documentary made by the brother of one of the victims of Catholic priest abuse in Boston.

 

I know that doesn't sound very exciting or new, but this particular victim has a unique perspective and the twists and turns of his story -- in particular of how the priesthood handled his case -- are fascinating.

 

As with many of their best episodes, this one is supposed to be placed entirely online, beginning on Wednesday.
