Synopsis: "Like last year's "Twist of Faith," Joe Cultrera's "Hand of God" follows an individual -- the filmmaker's brother -- coming to terms with and seeking justice for sexual abuse suffered from a priest decades earlier. Where "Twist""Twist" had verite immediacy and punishing emotional impact, "Hand" is cerebral, even experimental in approach. Yet it's finally just as forceful, especially as an indictment of the Catholic Church covering up for its own." (text from Kansas Intl. Film Festival)
