One of America�s most provocative filmmakers returns with his latest documentary, HBO�s Academy Award Nominated TWIST OF FAITH. The film is the powerful story of Tony Comes, a firefighter from Toledo, Ohio, who learns that the priest who sexually abused him when he was a boy now lives five doors down from his family. When Tony decides to take on the Catholic church, his obsession nearly destroys everything he holds dear. TWIST OF FAITH is the groundbreaking chronicle of a charismatic everyman whose struggle for justice and truth is as compelling as it is heartbreaking.
