Gloria, a former Italian nun, breaks 30 years of silence to name her abuser, the prominent Jesuit Father Marko Rupnik, a celebrated priest and artist close to the Vatican’s highest hierarchies. Rupnik’s mosaics grace some of the Catholic Church’s most important and visited shrines, basilicas and sanctuaries around the world. When the Vatican ignores her letter, Gloria refuses to back down, and embarks on a journey to expose a system built to protect power at any cost.
