Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side) investigates the secret crimes of Father Lawrence Murphy, a charismatic Milwaukee priest who abused more than 200 deaf children in a school under his control.
Using this case as a starting point, Gibney follows a trail from the first known protest against clerical sexual abuse in the United States all the way to the Vatican. With righteous anger and bold integrity, Gibney presents a thoroughly researched, chilling account detailing how the Vatican has consistently failed to protect children, burying allegations and evidence of the abuse of minors around the world.
