The Berrigans: Devout and Dangerous is a compelling documentary that really digs into the lives of the Berrigan brothers, who were more than just priests; they were passionate activists. Susan Hagedorn does a fine job pacing the film, weaving together interviews and archival footage. The atmosphere is charged with the fervor of their beliefs, making you feel the weight of their moral stand against war, particularly during the Vietnam era. It’s distinct in how it presents their nonviolent resistance, giving a sense of the era’s turmoil. The film doesn’t shy away from the complexities of faith and activism, which is refreshing. The brothers' performances, really more like their lived experiences, resonate deeply throughout the narrative.
