The Tadpole, the Rabbit and the Holy Spirit
Pulec, králík a Duch svatý, Czech Republic, 2007, 26 min, Religion, Social Issues, Society
For four years, the orthodox priest, Libor Halík, has been singing psalms outside the maternity hospital in Brno. This is his everyday protest against abortions. The documentary features a man who is convinced that Czech people prefer laziness to hard-working Christian love, that abortion is murder, homosexuality is perversion, and atheism is a deadly sin. His prayer-protesting outside the "abortion factory" is met with opposition, but he goes on, holding the cross and saying: You can never be a prophet in your own house and land.
