"By the Grace of God" (Grâce à Dieu, in the original French) is on screen at Campo Alegre, daily at 6.30pm and at 10pm. On Sundays, also at 3.30pm.

The film, directed by François Ozon, premiered in France on 20 February 2019 and in Belgium a week later.

The film portrays the lives of three survivors of a Catholic priest's abuse who, as adults, set out to expose the sexual abuse hidden by the Catholic Church. The film was well received by critics:

François Ozon (is a French film director and screenwriter whose films are usually characterized by sharp satirical wit and a freewheeling view on human sexuality.

"What's old heightens the impact of what's new and remarkably timely in François Ozon's powerful "By the Grace of God."

Wall Street Journal

"By the Grace of God, François Ozon's emotionally devastating film about the adult survivors of a pedophile priest, is based on true stories."
