Powerhouse documentary that shows the long-lasting emotional damage done by one priest who sexually assaulted hundreds of children while a pastor in California. Survivors struggle to reconcile their feelings with a church that really doesn't seem to care. Its silence, and at times out right denial, of responsibility for not only the actions of this priest, but hundreds of others, makes the Catholic church hierarchy complicit in their crimes. Gut-wrenching.
