GLORIA DEI
A Drama in Two Acts
A court order allows a brain-dead woman to die of starvation, but she is poisoned before her body gives way to deprivation. A priest is accused of the crime. Is it murder or mercy killing?
Forced to stand against the tyranny of an unethical judicial system, the priest risks everything to find justice for his friend and retribution for the courts that starved her.
Gloria Dei is an unapologetic exploration of the toxic mire of the right-to-life debate — a powerful courtroom drama that refuses easy answers.
