    In his harrowing emotionally powerful Oscar-nominated documentary film maker Kirby Dick explores the battle of one sexual-abuse victim's lonely crusade for an apology from the diocese that knowingly sheltered a pedophile. The gripping result is an intensely moving and passionately realized documentary that's truly unforgettable. While attending a Catholic High School Tony fell under the sway of Father Gray whom he'd invite to his Michigan cabin for weekends spent drinking skinny-dipping and playing pool. It was here that Gray would be repeatedly molested. Tony bottled up his hurt and anger for nearly 20 years until he turn to the Church for help. But When the Bishop rejects Tony he decides to sue the church. Thus begins his painful attempt to make peace with his troubled past-and bring Gray to justice. Dick incorporates video excerpts from Gray's court deposition in which he proves to be both evasive and chillingly matter-of-fact in his answers still there is nothing overtly monstrous about this middle-aged man who inflicted so much damage on Tony and other men three of whom share their stories in Twist of Faith. Twist of Faith may be both heartbreaking and enraging to watch but it's not unrelentingly grim as we witness a man who with enormous courage struggles against the church's monolithic hold on friends and family to put his life back together.
