| Summary |
After a lifetime of service Father Bob Maguire is 'invited to retire' but he's not leaving without a fight. For 40 years Catholic priest Father Bob Maguire fought courageously to protect the bereft and abandoned of his parish, the poor and disadvantaged, including those who were not Catholics themselves. He opened the doors to his parish, his presbytery, and his own pockets to them. Since 2002 he has weathered many disciplinary measures from the Church hierarchy due to his actions, fighting back with a healthy disregard for authority.With an insightful wit he becomes a tireless outspoken advocate for justice for the powerless and a provocateur of conscience. In 2012 he was forcibly made to retired and evicted by his Archbishop. Father Bob, now in his late 70's, with the tenacious belief that he is here to help, continues to fight to be effective, to be provocative and to never say die.PRODUCTION DETAILS:IN BOB WE TRUST, screening as part of the SUNDAY BEST series of feature-length documentaries, is a GHOST PICTURES production.
