When protecting the institution is more important than protecting its members, perpetrators have nothing to fear. Gloria, who joins the Catholic Loyola community in Slovenia as a young woman, learns this the hard way. For decades, she is sexually abused there by the celebrated Jesuit priest Marko Rupnik, even as he preaches about the physical love of God. Manipulation, power hierarchies, shame, and the fear of being alone without the faith community keep her trapped in this situation for a long time. But today, she is fighting alongside her lawyer, a journalist, and other nuns for recognition and justice from the Vatican. A gripping, investigative documentary thriller about the abuse of power in the name of God and the strength of individual women.<\/h5>
