A rare new documentary that really belongs on the big screen, The Betrayal's flowing lyricism gracefully connects a poignant family history to larger socio-political and extra-large spiritual themes. It's an almost sinfully beautiful movie about ugly global realities.

THE BETRAYAL opens Fri/27 in Bay Area theaters.
