Overview
"Divine Providence is a narrative short film set in and inspired by the city of Providence, Rhode Island. Building on the city's history of organized crime and taking place during the winter of 1978, the film follows a tumultuous confession that brings the lives of a lonely parish priest and a guilt-ridden mobster crashing together, forcing the two men to tear open old wounds and confront the demons of their respective pasts. A dialogue-driven chamber piece, Divine Providence explore thematic concepts such as faith, doubt, guilt, and forgiveness." -- Abstract
