The trailer for 'Building a Bridge' reveals an emotional documentary on one man's journey to make the Catholic Church more accepting of LGBTQ+ people.
There have been some great documentaries in the last few years that have highlighted many troubling dark things that have clouded our modern society. A common topic for such documentaries is the sickening battle against LGBTQ+ rights — more specifically, how the Catholic Church has mostly fought against the idea. A new documentary Building a Bridge looks to paint a clearer picture of that battle inside the church. Now we have release dates for that documentary along with a new trailer.
The film is based on the book of the same name by Father James Martin and “follows a priest on his journey to make the Catholic Church more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community, despite loud opposition from both inside and outside the Church.” The trailer takes us through the gist of that as we see Father Martin trying to educate people on the topic while also pushing back on the narrative set forth by most of the Catholic Church.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY So many emotions can be felt throughout this trailer. Frustration and anger just to name a few based on how the Catholic Church has handled this whole situation, but above all else, the feeling of love found throughout this footage trumps all that fear-mongering, hate-based imagery. While this documentary comes from a place of love, the conflict within it is sadly so relevant in today's world outside just the church. Even more so since this documentary was filmed.
Building a Bridge is certainly a documentary to look out for. It is directed by Evan Mascagni and Shannon Post as well as executive produced by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Building a Bridge releases on VOD May 3 before it comes out on AMC+ June 21 and Sundance TV June 26.'Dead Boy Detectives' Spin-Off Series Ordered at HBO Max Read Next Share Share Tweet Share Email Related Topics About The Author Shane Romanchick Shane Romanchick is a TV and Movie News Writer for Collider.
