Hostage to the Devil
A child possessed. An exorcist locked in combat with an ancient evil. Using first-hand interviews, dramatic reconstruction, archival evidence and Martin's own words, this documentary film tells the true story of Father Malachi Martin, and asks, in the battle for saving a soul, just who really is the 'Hostage to the Devil'.
