2006101 min7.1 / 10

A harrowing documentary investigation into institutional betrayal and systemic abuse that centers victims' voices while exposing the corruption that enabled decades of predation.

Documentary filmmaker Amy Berg investigates the life of 30-year pedophile Father Oliver O'Grady and exposes the corruption inside the Catholic Church that allowed him to abuse countless children. Victims' stories and a disturbing interview with O'Grady offer a view into the troubled mind of the spiritual leader who moved from parish to parish gaining trust ... all the while betraying so many.
