US PREMIERE In the shadows of the Catholic church, nuns and women have long endured abuse at the hands of priests—insidious and tactful grooming, silenced by confession, and hidden through systemic cover-ups. This investigative documentary uncovers both the harrowing details and the institutional indifference, from luxury retreats for accused clergy to the celebrated muralist Marko Rupnik. At its core are the brave women whose testimonies challenge the very foundations of faith and power, insisting on truth and accountability. - Ruth Somalo
