Killing Priests Is Good News
Ten years ago, four American churchwomen were raped and murdered by Salvadorean soldiers. Their deaths marked the start of a decade of persecution against the church in El Salvador. The carnage culminated in the killing of six Jesuit priests in November last year. Everyman tells the story of three men whose lives have been profoundly affected by these killings. Each of them - a Wall
Street lawyer, a Salvadorean priest, and a social activist from New
York's South Bronx - has reached an extraordinary conclusion: that hope can emerge from tragedy, that murder can be good news. Producer Catherine Seddon Editor Jane Drabble
