God On Trial is a reflective war drama written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and directed by Andy DeEmmony.

In the Jewish tradition of arguing with God, Jewish prisoners in Auschwitz decide to put God on Trial.In a universe presumably ruled by a benevolent, all-powerful God, how can events such as the Holocaust possibly come to pass? This is the question posed by a group of inmates in Auschwitz, at the Third Reich’s most notorious death camp, The inmates are a variety of doctors, lawyers, and professors.

Realizing that their extermination is imminent, the prisoners attempt to make sense of their fate by putting God on trial. How is it that the deity they call the Almighty could abandon his chosen people in their hour of need? As the sound of prisoners being marched to the gas chambers drifts hauntingly through the walls, the trial gets underway. The questions posed during the inquest are profoundly difficult and deeply complex, and as the hour draws near when they, too, will face death at the hands of their captors, the thoughtful prisoners finally reach a verdict.

Our ignorance is God; what we know is science.
