Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God

Deaf men, survivors of childhood at a Catholic boarding school for the deaf in Milwaukee, summon immense courage to break decades of enforced silence. They accuse a priest of systematic sexual abuse, and their personal stories ignite a fire that spreads to expose a global epidemic within the very heart of the Catholic Church. The documentary traces their agonizing fight for justice as they confront an impenetrable wall of ecclesiastical hierarchy, an institution that prioritized protecting perpetrators over vulnerable children. It's a journey from a secluded schoolroom to the highest corridors of power in the Vatican.
