Constantine's Sword
Documentary, not rated. 2007, 96 mins. Directed by Oscar-nominated Oren Jacoby. Voice-overs by Philip Bosco, Natasha Richardson, Eli Wallach, Liev Schreiber, and James Carroll. 

Inspired by the bestselling book by acclaimed author, and former priest, James Carroll, this astonishing documentary brings to life a history of religious intolerance, tracing it as a source of war and the fanaticism that threatens the world today.

From Roman Emperor Constantine's vision of the cross as a sword and symbol of power, to the rise of genocidal anti-Semitism and modern-day wars, Carroll's journey begins in his own past, as he comes to terms with his father's role as an U.S. Air Force general preparing for nuclear war. From there, he is carried into the wider world, uncovering historical evidence of church-sanctioned violence against Jews, Muslims, and others. Carroll also delves into the way some evangelical Christians proselytize inside the armed forces.
At its core, Constantine's Sword is a compelling personal narrative - a kind of detective story- as one man uncovers the dark areas of his own faith and the church he loves.
