A horrific legacy of local sexual abuse has tarnished the perception and influence of Catholics in Kansas City.
Victims of the abuse continue to struggle with guilty, blame, suspicion and disbelief.

Premiering at the Telluride Film Festival, the documentary follows six men in Kansas City, Missouri, who were abused by Catholic priests and clergy, as they, through a drama therapy-inspired experiment, attempt to exorcise their trauma. As they perform the stories of their life, the work — both the documentary and the exercise — yields fascinating and cathartic results."
