Description

This documentary examines sexuality as seen by women and men born into Catholic families and educated at Catholic schools. These people talk about the Church's refusal to face reality and how this short-sightedness leads to lies, feelings of guilt, a block on eroticism, unwanted pregnancies, deaths resulting from illegal abortions, and ignorance about AIDS that in fact helps the disease to spread.
