Procession is a documentary film that follows the journey of six men who were sexually abused as children by Catholic priests. These men, now in their 30s and 40s, come together to find healing and empowerment through the filmmaking process.
Each of the six men shares their personal stories of abuse and the impact it has had on their lives. They work with experienced filmmakers to create short films that explore their trauma and allow them to reclaim their voices and stories.
The film also delves into the systemic issues within the Catholic Church that allowed for this widespread abuse to occur, as well as the ongoing struggle for justice and accountability for survivors.
Through their filmmaking process, these survivors are able to find a sense of community, healing, and empowerment. Procession is a powerful and transformative portrayal of the enduring impact of childhood sexual abuse and the resilience of survivors to find their own paths to healing.
