Constantines Sword

Northwest Film Forum
Seattle, WA

Constantines Sword begins in Colorado Springs, where antiSemitism and Evangelical endorsements are running rampant at the U.S. Air Force Academy. James Carroll, a former Catholic priest with an Air Force upbringing, dives headon into the dark past of Catholicism and how its roots have come to flourish in the modern era. Focusing on Christian antisemitism and the more recent violence against Muslims, Carroll traces how traditional Christian heroes marginalized a vibrant people, and makes the history of antiSemitism painfully clear and accessible. In doing so, he artfully integrates his own personal story of religion and activism. The film offers a harrowing look into U.S. foreign policy, past and present, and the role that religious fanaticism has played.
