Contra Costa and Napa Premiere of Francois Ozon’s By the Grace of God from France (based on true events!).

Synopsis: Francois Ozon’s gripping drama follows three men who band together to dismantle the code of silence that continues to protect a priest who abused them decades ago. Based on events from the 2019 conviction of Cardinal Philippe Barbarin of Lyon for concealing the conduct of Father Bernard Preynat, BY THE GRACE OF GOD compassionately illustrates the varying effects of trauma on survivors and their families in this urgent portrait of resistance, the power of mobilization, and the mysteries of faith.

Two screenings on January 11th at the Jarvis Conservatory (1711 Main Street)
4pm & 7pm
