About The Troublesome Priest
Father Rod Bower is an Anglican priest who believes that Australia's treatment of asylum seekers has put the soul of the nation in peril; that as we diminish the humanity of others, we are diminishing our own humanity.

Working as a team with his wife Kerry, they use the sign in front of their church to challenge and provoke. They also share their messages via the Anglican Parish of Gosford Facebook page. Public interest extends far beyond Father Bower's parish on the NSW Central Coast: he has over 54,000 Facebook followers and the page receives up to 14 million engagements each week from people of different faiths and people of no faith. He consistently attracts both national and international media coverage.

Filmed over 2 years, The Troublesome Priest delves into the makings of this complex yet simple man. An adopted child who was relentlessly bullied due to his small stature, Father Rod remembers the rage he felt, not for the physical pain or humiliation, but for the injustice of the abuse. The rage is still there, just below the surface, when he witnesses attacks on the vulnerable such as the denial of human rights for asylum seekers or racist slurs towards the Muslim community.

For Father Rod, the opposite of love is fear and it is fear of "the other" that leads human beings to harm one another. His quest for a more evolved humanity has never been so important. The Troublesome Priest is the inspiring story of a flawed yet courageous man who seeks to heal his own brokenness so he might heal the brokenness of our collective humanity.

The Troublesome Priest was broadcast on ABC Compass in 2017. A DVD of the directors cut of the documentary can be purchased via Ronin Films: https://www.roninfilms.com.au/feature...
