Heart in the Wound 20min
Heart in the Wound is a gripping odyssey through the clergy
sexual abuse crisis, as seen through the lens of
photographer Lisa Kessler and the voices of three survivors.
This short film weaves behind-the-scenes imagery of
Cardinal Law, church insiders, lay people, protesters,
victim-survivors and the media into a psychological tableau,
revealing the forces of power and shame at the heart of
sexual abuse, and the transforming potential of speaking
truth to power. Often the focus is on the abuse of young
boys, but as we experience from the story of Kathy, the lives
of women have been greatly affected.
Director, Producer: Lisa Kessler

Scenes from a Parish 85min
In a hard-pressed former mill town, a traditionally
Irish-American Catholic parish must confront the majority
Latino city that surrounds it. Nine Catholics face
obstacles--class, ethnicity and sexual orientation--that
threaten to break apart the fellowship they seek.
Director, Producer: James Rutenbeck
