Radical Disciple: The Story of Father Pfleger
Regarded as a hero by many and a renegade by some in the Catholic Church hierarchy, Michael Pfleger, longtime pastor of Chicago's St. Sabina Parish, has consistently used the power of his pulpit to battle social inequity, engaging in high-profile political activism to end drug-dealing, prostitution, and exploitation by liquor and tobacco companies in his community. The film captures the charisma of the crusading priest and his "gospel of the streets" while exploring the larger issues of tensions between the Church and its African American flock.
