The setting of this 2008 film adaptation of John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize winning fictional stage play “Doubt: A Parable,” is a Catholic school in the Bronx in 1964 and follows a popular priest’s ambiguous relationship with a troubled 12 year old black student. When the school’s principal suspects the priest is spending too much time with the boy, she locks into a battle of wills with him, which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequences. Written and directed by Shanley and produced by Scott Rudin, the film stars Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis. (2008, 104 minutes) Rated PG-13.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with local religious leaders and mental health professionals, including Rabbi Debra Rappaport, Father Brooks Keith, and Dr. Joan Bornstein. Rabbi Debra Rappaport has served as Rabbi and Executive Director of B’nai Vail Congregation, serving the Jewish community of Eagle County and beyond, since June 2007. In this capacity, she is also an active participant in the interfaith communities in Vail, Beaver Creek and Edwards. She also serves on the Board of Scholars and Advisers for the Vail Leadership Institute.

The Reverend Stuart Brooks Keith III, or simply Father Brooks, hails from Tampa, Florida. Following a tenure in professional youth ministry in Orlando, Florida, Father Brooks graduated from the Virginia Theological Seminary in 1992. Father Brooks enjoys leading a dynamic, growing congregation while providing leadership in the diocesan and national levels of the Episcopal Church.
