God on Trial (2008)

Masterpiece Theater tela-play inspired by the possibly apocryphal story of a group of Auschwitz prisoners who hold a symbolic trial of God for breaking the Abrahamic Covenant. Perfect and poignant story vehicle for exploring all kinds of questions relating to God, mercy & justice, atheism & belief, hope & despair, faith & reason. The tela-play is really a lost art, they should do more of them, its such a capable forum for exploring issues like these. An hour and a half, with a lot to say. 4 out of 5.
