“God on Trial”
(PBS, $24.95)

Perhaps you missed the PBS airing on “Masterpiece Theatre,” yet if deep conversations on good and evil are your thing, then “God on Trial” will get you thinking. The film is based on a reported legend that prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II convened a mock trial against God to discover the real reason behind so much suffering in the world. Believers and atheists alike have their say in this fascinating look at faith amid a place lacking of hope.
