Where can you get ahold of a copy.
It's a great documentary. Not only does it show the lengths the RCC went to in order to protect a particular priest, but it also provides some of Archbishop Mahoney's deposition in Los Angeles. His evasive non-answers and obvious squirming manage to outdo even Bill Clinton's ("depends on the meaning of 'is' is") testimony.
The Amazon editorial review of the DVD says...
A devastating investigation into the pedophilia scandals tearing apart the Catholic Church, Deliver Us From Evil begins by looking into one priest, Father Oliver O'Grady, who agreed to be interviewed by journalist/filmmaker Amy Berg. O'Grady's genial calm is at first ingratiating, until he begins to describe his crimes with an unsettling sociopathic detachment. But O'Grady's blithe interview is only half of the story, as the documentary also unveils how church superiors covered up O'Grady's crimes and shuffled him from diocese to diocese in northern California, finally placing him in an unsupervised position of authority in a small town, where he sexually assaulted dozens of children; the video deposition of Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahoney is a grotesque portrait in brittle denial. What makes Deliver Us From Evil crucial viewing, however, are the remarkable interviews with a few of the victims (now adults) and their parents, whose stories are wrenching and riveting. With the support of a priest seeking to reform the church, two of the victims actually go to the Pope, seeking some form of help in addressing O'Grady's crimes. This stunningly potent documentary combines raw feeling with lucid and persuasive discussions of the reasons for--and disturbing breadth of--this crisis within the Church. --Bret Fetzer
The saddest thing is to see the victims' agony that continues to this day, and their families who suffer tremendous guilt for permitting the abuse to continue. One father says he's so ashamed and angry that he's lost his faith in God completely. Complete devastation.
Doesn't it ever occur to anyone that perhaps this kind of covert abuse is in part responsible for the growing number of homosexual men in this country? Ask around. See how many homosexuals went to parochial school or spent a lot of time at the rectory after school. While it's only anecdotal, it's still pretty amazing. I'm not holding my breath for any government-sponsored survey soon. Too bad. It might be eye-opening.
