Winner of the prestigious Hot Docs Roger Audience Choice Award for Best Canadian Feature, and the DGC Special Jury Prize, marking Sexual Assault Awareness Month, new to iwonder this April comes ‘Prey’; the unflinching account of a survivor of clergy sexual abuse as they take on the Catholic Church.

Widespread sexual abuse within the Church has traumatised thousands globally. Many have only recently come forward to speak publicly, while others have been silenced through financial settlements.

Prey follows the story of a single survivor and his lawyer as they pursue justice through the conviction of a retired priest who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting 16 boys and one girl, in the hopes of forcing the dark and sinister story of sexual assault by Catholic priests into the light.

The trial is not about guilt or innocence, but about how much money the church should pay in compensation for the devastating fallout from the abuse. More importantly, for the plaintiff, it is about exposing the truth of how and why the sexual abuse of children can have gone on for so long without the Church stopping it. It’s the story of one survivor’s efforts to seek justice, echoing the thousands of other sexual abuse victims’ stories from around the world.

iwonder CEO, James Bridges, says of the film:

“A harrowing subject which lays claim to victims all over the world, many of whom may never see justice served, Prey is a powerful and compelling look at the haunting effects of child sexual abuse at the hands of the Church, and why it’s so important that the institution continues to be held to account.”

Viewers new to iwonder can watch Prey for free by signing up to the 14-day free trial period, while also gaining access to 1,000+ other acclaimed documentary films and series. Priced at $6.99 monthly or $69.90 annually, viewers can enjoy iwonder on their mobile phones via iOS and Android apps, browsers at www.iwonder.com, with Apple TV, Android TV, Telstra TV, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Optus SubHub, or through Google Chromecast or Apple’s Airplay.
