- Constantine's Sword
Too often, "essay films" — documentaries arguing a specific point of view — are made by those antipathetic to their subjects. What's unusual about Constantine's Sword, an exploration of the historical alliance of military and religion, and the ancient origins of Christian anti-Semitism, is that it's narrated by ex-priest and still-religious journalist James Carroll, whose father was a three-star general in the US Air Force. In other words, Carroll knows of what he speaks. The result is an even-keeled but nonetheless moving interrogation of why, as he suggests, religion is the excuse of not one but both sides of those waging war in Iraq.
