Nuns Vs The Vatican is a gripping exposé of faith, betrayal, and resilience. When Gloria, a former nun, shatters 30 years of silence, she names her abuser - celebrated Jesuit priest Marko Rupnik - and challenges the Vatican’s silence. Her letter to the Vatican, Descent into Hell, exposes a decade of abuse, yet the Church stays silent. Reconnecting with fellow survivor Mirjam, they take their story to investigative journalist Federica Tourn, igniting a movement. As media and survivor networks amplify their fight, they challenge the Vatican’s secrecy, forcing a long-buried crisis into the public eye.
