MEA MAXIMA CULPA: SILENCE IN THE HOUSE OF GOD
HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET
Alex Gibney’s documentary literally gives voice to the deaf, retracing and recounting the story of deaf boys who were sexually abused while in the care of and supervision of a Catholic priest – and following their story to the highest levels of the Vatican. The tone of Mea Maxima Culpa is ominous, but never slips into melodrama – and the reporting appears to be thorough, fair and careful throughout.
