    Whatever happened to the film about the Vatican culpability during the Holocost? I saw it at the Paris and really enjoyed it and then it disappeared.

    I saw this wonderful film as a 14 year old the year it came out and it motivated my political activism which started at that time and continued throughout my life.

    thank you for the inspiration

    Unfortunately I missed most of the show but I will download the podcast. I seem to have heard that

    Costas Gavras is going to speak about his new film tonight but I did not get the whereabouts. Could you please post this on the show website?
