James Carroll is a treasure and a marvelous teller of truths.” -Eric Goldman, NEW JERSEY JEWISH STANDARD This astonishing exploration of the dark side of Christianity follows acclaimed author and former priest James Carroll as he confronts persecution and violence in the name of God – today and in the Church’s past. Carroll, a National Book Award winner and columnist for the Boston Globe, discovers a terrible legacy that reverberates across the centuries – from Emperor Constantine’s vision of the cross as a sword and symbol of power, to the rise of genocidal antisemitism, to modern-day wars and conflicts sparked by religious extremism. At its heart, Constantine’s Sword is a detective story, as Carroll journeys both into his own past – where he comes to terms with his father’s role in preparing for nuclear war – and into the wider world, where he uncovers evidence of church-sanctioned violence against Jews, Muslims, and others, and exposes how evangelical Christians are today allowed to proselytize inside our country’s armed forces. • BASED ON THE BEST-SELLING BOOK BY JAMES CARROLL • DIRECTED BY OSCAR-NOMINEE OREN JACOBY • SUCCESSFUL THEATRICAL ARTHOUSE RELEASE - OVER 100 MARKETS TO DATE • MAJOR PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN (CBS SUNDAY MORNING, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO & MORE) BONUS MATERIALS include Introduction by Gabriel Byrne & More!

The interviews - with his son Rolf, historians and journalists, sympathizers, and members of Israeli intelligence - provide authenticity to this strong documentary.” -THE NEW YORK TIMES Josef Mengele, the ‘Angel of Death,’ was the most notorious SS doctor at Auschwitz. After the end of the war, Mengele was one of the world’s most wanted war criminals - yet for the next 35 years he escaped justice. Narrated by world-famous TV legend David Frost, The Search for Mengele traces Mengele’s escape through Germany to Italy, then to Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. Filmed in ten countries and featuring numerous interviews and photographs of Mengele through the years, this astonishing, disturbing film reveals not only Mengele’s life and crimes, but also the complicity of those who allowed him to escape justice.
