Look I'm really not into Documentaries but when I decide to see some they must be good and attractive that catches my attention. So about this film, this documentary is about a priest Oliver O'Grady who is a pedophile and pervert, he had a reoccurring part in this documentary shows his views that what kind of a pervert he is which is really shocking also there are interview of other victims of child molestation and their families telling how they were betrayed by the person and the organization which they trusted the most. The way I see it people like O'Grady can be found in every religion disguise themselves in sheep's clothing but are actually wolves, but the worst part are the organizations that letting these wolves in our society and hurting our children if the Catholic church had taken a suitable action there could be a very different story.So about the recommendation, viewers may find it quite disturbing cause its on a very dark subject that people don't like to talk about, so yeah you can give it a try if you are willing to and if you like documentaries.

It's a shocking insight into a world already known to be as disgusting and duplicitous as is laid bare in this documentary.Father O'Grady seems to fluctuate between the repentant child molester honestly searching for truth and forgiveness, and a subtle and controlling egotist who needs to be central to every facet of the emotional devastation in his wake.Although it may be impossible to come to this documentary as a 'neutral' observer it does feel forced along in some areas. The tone of the film is more interested in exposing the pain and disgusting acts than as a window into another world. An obvious attempt to appeal to the base emotions, and would have preferred more of a focus on the hypocrisy of child molestation within a Christian World view. However, where the film succeeds with tremendous impact is the complete access to the victim's struggle to find understanding, and the perpetrator's car crash he calls his life.

You judge a tree by its fruit. This documentary succeeds in letting viewers behold this dark little secret that the Catholic Church hopes you will never find out about: The rotting fruit of their sin-harvest that comes from unspeakably heinous crimes against children that are tolerated by them as being business-as-usual! Love is the desire to do good to others but that is the antithesis of all that the Catholic Church represents as it was portrayed in this documentary and as revealed by fearless journalists all over the world who have courageously accepted the bold challenge to find the truth no matter where it takes them and then tell it like it is.

Woe to anyone who dares to lead a little one astray especially if you are supposed to represent God to that smaller-framed adult-in-progress! It would be better that a big rock (like an island, for example) be securely fastened to your feeble and frail little neck before your next swimming lesson than to sit before the Supreme Judges on High with those kinds of crimes against kids being exposed to the judicial illumination of an administrative system of universal law and order that is no respecter of persons (treats everyone with an equal degree of fairness and justice regardless of what title one may have had applied to them during their earthly sojourn). I once heard mercy defined as applied love but I would speculate that such an application would only be applicable if sincere repentance is detected and I would never presume to be capable of evaluating that kind of thing in another person regardless of how angry and upset I felt watching this film. I will admit that this movie was extremely difficult to watch all the way through to the end (but I did anyway) since unlike a lot of movies that provide a temporary escape from reality, this in-your-face presentation mercilessly thrusts you right smack dab in the middle of a part of reality that almost sounds unbelievable at first...until you witness firsthand the tear-stained faces of the victims and their families who have been permanently scarred by the painfully tragic circumstances of their youth involving priests who took advantage of their priestly positions of authority and traded their souls (the souls of the iniquity-embracing priests) for a few fleeting moments of forgettable nothingness.
