Doubt, A Parable

Riveting. Unsettling. Thought-provoking. Sister Aloysius, principal of St. Nicholas School in the Bronx, values order and discipline with her students. Charismatic Father Flynn believes in a friendlier, more relaxed approach to dealing with the kids. Suspicious that the priest is carrying on an inappropriate relationship with a black student, the nun sets out to confront him herself. Is her mission built on truth? Although set in the 1960s, this headline-hot story is the winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and provides a gripping exploration of the question, “What do you do when you’re not sure?”

Audience Advisory: Mature subject matter.
