The US director of an award-winning film about sex abuse by Catholic priests has unveiled a new documentary, focusing on child sexual assault in a radical offshoot of the Mormon Church. Amy Berg, whose "Deliver Us from Evil" (2006) was nominated for an Oscar, premiered her latest film "Prophet's Prey" at the Sundance Film Festival this week. "Deliver Us From Evil" was about a Roman Catholic priest who was relocated to various parishes around the United States in the 1970s in a bid to cover up his rape of dozens of children. Her new film concerns the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS), which split from the mainstream Mormon Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in the early 20th century.
