NUNS VS. THE VATICAN is a groundbreaking investigative documentary that exposes a historic showdown inside the Catholic Church. NUNS VS. THE VATICAN follows Gloria, a former nun who risked everything to challenge the church's silence on abuse, corruption and systemic erasure of women's voices within Catholic power structures. After she experienced this abuse at the hands of her mentor and guide, Father Rupnik, who was revered for his faith and art in the Church, she decided to speak up and make change for others. The film uncovers the harrowing details regarding the nuns and women that have long endured abuse at the hands of priests within the Vatican Church. At the film's core are the brave women whose testimonies challenge the very foundations of faith and power, insisting on truth and accountability. This gripping exposé pulls back the curtain on a decades-long battle for truth, equality, and reform inside one of the world's most secretive institutions. The documentary arrives at a crucial moment as the Vatican faces renewed scrutiny over transparency and gender equality. NUNS VS. THE VATICAN blends investigative rigor with intimate storytelling, positioning these nuns not as victims but as reformers.
