An Investigation into Opus Dei, UK. In Spain they call it 'Octopus Dei', in Italy the 'Sancta Mafia'. It has been accused of splitting families, of medieval spiritual practices, of financial and political chicanery. But the Pope has granted it a special status within the Church, and procedures for the canonisation of its founder have been opened. Opus Dei - God's Work - has been operating in this country for 35 years. Recently it has come under heavy criticism for its activities and attitudes. This Everyman film, the first of a new series, is the most thorough investigation of Opus Dei, UK, ever mounted. It contains the first television interview with Opus Dei's National Director, Fr Philip Sherrington, and brings to light evidence about the organisation never revealed before.
