Mea Maxima Culpa investigates the Roman Catholic Church’s cover-up of countless incidents of sexual abuse of children. Despite sporadic headlines, we still have enormous gaps in our knowledge about the concealment that took place over decades. Although the church has paid out over $2 billion to settle claims, U.S. courts have convicted only one senior church official for his role in covering up these crimes. Increasingly, other countries are discovering their own dark secrets. Who should be held accountable? Courtesy of HBO Documentary Films.
