Toronto flashback: 'Mea Maxima Culpa' director Alex Gibney
One of the documentaries shortlisted for Oscar consideration is "Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God." At the Variety Studio during the Toronto International Film Festival, director Alex Gibney discussed the issues raised by the project, which explores pedophilia in the Catholic Church, centered around the story of four teens who were abused by a priest at a Milwaukee school for the deaf.
Variety senior film critic Justin Chang reviewed "Mea" here.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
