Sex Abuse in the Church: Code of Silence (2017)

Plot

Revelations from confidential church documents expose a disturbing pattern of the Catholic Church shielding priests accused of sexual misconduct. These officials often relocate offenders internationally, extending their reach to places like Africa. The investigation implicates Pope Francis, who, during his tenure as bishop of Buenos Aires, reportedly sought to sway the Argentine judicial system to safeguard a convicted priest. Spanning continents from Cameroon to Argentina, as well as the U.S., France, and Italy, the film meticulously uncovers the journey of these predators and the systemic code of silence that enables their actions.
