(Courtesy photo) What’s the difference between a faith-based movie and a “faith-adjacent” movie? How do producers and directors ensure they are creating films that inspire and uplift viewers? Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talked with writer and director Sean McNamara about these topics, and about his new movie, due in theaters Sept. 26, “Bau: Artist at War.” The new film is based on a true story of love that emerged from the concentration camps in Poland. At its heart is the relationship between Joseph, a cartographer who forged passports and other documents that allowed many Jewish Poles to be saved, and Rebecca, whom he met at married in the camp.
