Video: Constantine's Sword

Shot partly in Europe, Oren Jacoby's documentary examines the history of anti-Semitism in the Catholic Church (as exposed in James Carroll's controversial book Constantine's Sword) and the link between the U.S. military and the Christian right. From Constantine's reign in the fourth century to today's evangelical base at Colorado Springs' Air Force Academy, Jacoby's film offers a provocative look at the roots of holy wars past and present.
