Oscar-winning Director Alex Gibney (Going Clear, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) exposes the abuse of power in the Catholic Church and a cover-up that winds its way from the row houses of Wisconsin, through the choirs of IrelandaEU(tm)s churches all the way to the highest office of the Vatican.

By investigating the secret crimes of a charismatic priest who abused over 200 deaf children in a school under his control - the film shows the face of evil that lurks behind the smiles and denials of authority figures and institutions who believe that because they stand for good they can do no wrong.

Winner of a Primetime Emmy Award for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking. Winner of Best Documentary at the London Film Festival. Official Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"The case has been widely reported but this is still an important film, laying out who knew what, and when." - Cath Clarke, Time Out
