European broadcasters Arte, YLE and DR are among the channels to have picked up Alex Gibney’s acclaimed documentary on sex abuse within the Catholic Church.
Distributor Content Media has secured a raft of sales for Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God, produced by Gibney’s New York-based prodco Jigsaw Productions.
The feature-length doc exposes the culture of sexual abuse and cover-up throughout the church through the story of four deaf men in the US who set out to expose the priest who abused them during the 1960s.
It will air on HBO in the US and has also been picked up by HBO Europe for broadcast on its channels in the Netherlands and Poland. YLE in Finland, Danish pubcaster DR and Franco-German pay net Arte have also taken on the doc.
