Watching this documentary tonight, in French although the original was
in English. Very powerful, and very disturbing. It's about sexual abuse
within the Catholic Church, told beautifully and heart-breakingly. The
film won three Primetime Emmy awards, and won top honors at the British
Film Institute Awards and the Irish Film and Television Awards.

Worse than the sexual abuse is the conspiracy of silence that strove to
hide it. Much of the film is "narrated" by monks who have taken a vow of
silence. Their superiors thought that they were "safe," and that their
vows would keep them silent. They forgot sign language.
