Toast (2010) Review

Nigel Slater is nine years old in 1967 living in Wolverhampton he truly adores his mother but she is not a very good cook at all. It nearly always ended up with it being toast instead. He has a flair for cooking himself and gets very passionate about it. The death of his mother would only be the start.

"God on Trial" is a 2008 BBC/WGBH television play written by Frank Cottrell Boyce based on an event described by Elie Wiesel in his bookThe Trial of God, Wiesel confirmed that the story was true, and that he was personally witness to it. The play takes place in  Auschwitz-Birkenau during World War II. The Jewish prisoners put God on trial in absentia for abandoning the Jewish people. The question is if God has broken His covenat with theJewish people by allowing the Nazis to commit genocide. Staring:Joseph Alessi, Josef Altin, Ashley Artus, Alexi Kaye Campbell, Dominic Cooper, Lorcan Cranitch, Stephen Dillane, Rupert Graves, François Guetary, David de Keyser, Eddie Marsan, Andre Oumansky, Blake Ritson, Jack Shepherd, Antony Sher, Stellan Skarsgård, Rene Zagger, Agnieszka Liggett, Louise Mardenborough The movie starts with around half of the men being selected for the gas chamber within a couple of hours and most seem paralysed by fear, hunger and despair. There is one angry man who rails against God. His anger provokes reactions from many of the others and soon the men agree to put God on trial, quickly organising a kind of tribunal in the traditions of the Jewish religion. This drama confronts one of the central issues of human existence - the basis of faith - and sets it in a time and place that has become a by-word for inhumanity. With writing that is emotive, intelligent and unflinching throughout complimented by a series of utterly convincing and moving performances from all the principals, this was one of the most absorbing and challenging pieces of TV drama I have witnessed in years. In fact I would go further: This ranks as one of the finest TV productions I have ever seen. For me the almost real time context lifted this play beyond another testimony to the Holocaust. The characters all know the past - indeed, they acknowledge several hideous near genocidal atrocities by their Jewish ancestors - but they don't know the future. I would like to see this drama shown to teenagers in school, I believe it would be an excellent educational tool, not only about the holocaust but about religion in general and where we place God in our lives.
