Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God
Alex Gibney is no stranger to FilmColumbia. We showed his Oscar- winning documentary on U.S. torture in Iraq and Afghanistan, Taxi to the Dark Side in 2007, and Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer in 2010. Now he's back with this hard-hitting investigation into the Roman Catholic Church's strange tolerance for pederasty in its ranks, focusing on the case of Rev. Lawrence Murphy, who allegedly sexually abused as many as 200 deaf boys at a school in Wisconsin from 1950 to 1974. The film points a finger at the current Pope, Benedict XVI, for knowingly covering up the crimes of his priests. John Slattery, Ethan Hawke, and others voice the deaf survivors. Silence in the House of God premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. Alex Gibney will be on hand for a panel discussion.106min Not Rated
