Our Fathers

The film explores the dark secrets of the Catholic Church, revealing the tragic tale of sexual abuse and the systemic failures that allowed it to thrive.

A scandal unfolds in the Boston diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in the 1970s and 1980s as pedophile priests, led by Father John Geoghan, sexually abuse young boys. Despite knowledge of the crimes, Cardinal Bernard Law supports the priests, transferring them between churches and keeping the matter secret. Years later, victims come forward, and a lawyer sues the diocese and Cardinal Law for covering up the crimes.
