Opus Dei: Decoding God’s Work was among 120 submissions. The documentary explores the history and significance of St. Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei, and his work. It examines the myths and distortions of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code from a Catholic perspective. The film features interviews with Opus Dei leaders worldwide, as well as Vatican affairs expert John Allen, Catholic commentator and Catholic Register columnist Michael Higgins and Cardinal Francis George of Chicago among others.

“This film was made as a response to the many distortions and misunderstandings spread by The Da Vinci Code phenomenon; I am glad we were able to tell the world about the real Opus Dei,” said David Naglieri, co-producer of the documentary.

“Through St. Josemaria, our film is but another envelope carrying the message of Jesus Christ to more people and more people every day,” added co-producer Marc Boudignon.
