John mccain documentary netflix catholic priest

It's always been kind-boggling to me how people can be so disgusting. There are deep-seated reasons for that, but I realized that by not listening, I was contributing to the silence that leads to the shame and harm that victims feel.

And I think everything worked out very well.

H: Were there any moments where things got too real?

RG: It was too real the whole time.

It was hosted by Monica Phinney, who ended up being our drama therapist. We had to make choices in editing about what to share. I say everything was filmed, but the truth is that a lot of conversations had to happen with no cameras around before that, so we could make sure everyone was safe. It was interesting and exciting. Are those who still dutifully attend Mass and continue to put money into the coffers of the Catholic Church complicit in the ongoing coverup?

Drama therapy was new to me as well. I thought about how I could never watch or listen to any story about pedophiles abusing children, priests or otherwise. These men had been isolated by their abuse, isolated by the Catholic Church, isolated by the court system, and then they were brought together to talk. Monica and I working on that for what we hope is the next phase of the project.

Meanwhile there was this other story growing, about writing a letter to my 10-year-old self. I wanted to work with Michael, Mike, and Tom because they were in that press conference, but she decided whether they could and should do it. 2021, the Archdiocese of New York announced that a Vatican-authorized investigation had cleared Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, who leads the Roman Catholic Diocese in Brooklyn, N.Y., of two men’s accusations that DiMarzio abused them in Jersey City, N.J., when they were children.

Literally just breathing before you roll camera, and then de-rolling after you stop filming. The guys needed to tell us what they needed. I meet with a gentleman who specializes in boys who were abused by Catholic priests. I was ready to take on any role they wanted me to, just so I could be a part of it. The truth is that the process of being interviewed is very much like a deposition or an independent review board.

Robert gave me one of those big megaphones, like cheerleaders use. We absolutely want to engage with both the therapy and documentary communities.

H: For the participants, what was the creative process like?

TV: I'd never had any experience acting, in front of a camera or anything else. I needed to be more aware of that.

They were watching many cuts and giving feedback on how to balance all this.

MF: The last thing I wanted to do was stop.
