A documentary about the alleged abuses committed by Father Marko Rupnik and the efforts of his accusers to obtain justice has won widespread acclaim following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Directed by Lorena Luciano and executive-produced by the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay, Nuns vs. The Vatican received two sold-out screenings at the Canadian festival earlier this month.
Among the victims who feature in the film is Gloria Branciani, who received a standing ovation lasting four minutes when she appeared before audiences at a post-screening discussion.
