Winner - Best Documentary Feature - 2006 Los Angeles Film Festival

Nominee - 2006 IDA Distinguished Feature Documentary Award

DELIVER US FROM EVIL is the story of Father Oliver O'Grady, the most notorious pedophile in the history of the modern Catholic Church. Completely lacking in moral fiber and devoid of any sense of shame or guilty, O'Grady used his charm and authority to violate dozens of faithful catholic families across Northern California for more than two decades. His victims ranged from nine month-old infants to the middle-aged mother of another adolescent victim. Despite early warning signs and complaints from several parishes, the church, in an elaborate shell game designed to avoid liability and deflect criticism. lied to parishioners and local law enforcement, while continuing to move O'Grady from parish to parish.

FOR SOME THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS SALVATION

Over the years, O'Grady successfully exploited mothers and fathers in order to get their children. His penchant for sexual mayhem was a essential to him as breathing, and internal Church documents prove that since 1973, he raped and sodomized with the full knowledge of his Catholic superiors.

Remarkably, DELIVER US FROM EVIL filmmaker Amy Berg tracked down Father O'Grady and persuaded him to participate in the making of her film. O'Grady's account of his years in various Northern California parishes is chilling and he tells his story without remorse or self-reflection. Also included in the film is never-before-seen footage of the deposition of Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahoney and his former second-in-command, Monsignor Cain. She also interviews canon lawyer and medieval historian Fr. Thomas Doyle, former priest, lawyers and the abuse survivors themselves.
