Letter from Frontline

January 26, 2007

FRONTLINE deeply regrets the decision of KMBH not to run 'Hand of God,' a powerful and moving story of one man's encounter with abuse at the hands of a Catholic priest and the reaction of the victim's family when he comes forward 30 years later.

The broadcast is being streamed on our web site www.pbs.org/frontline/handofgod and we would encourage those who are able to view the film there. We also support the decision of independent filmmaker, Joe Cultrera, whose brother is the subject of the film, to make his film available to community groups and other interested parties who wish to see the story for themselves and make their own decision about its merits.
