COMING TUESDAY: Airs Apr. 19th at 9PM ET (check local listings)
WATCH A PREVIEW
The story made national headlines last month -- the announcement of one of the largest monetary settlements yet in the Catholic Church's ongoing sex abuse scandal.
But it was the victims in this case -- many of them Alaska Native people -- about whom you may have heard much less.
Until now.
In The Silence, the first of two stories airing this Tuesday night on the latest magazine edition of FRONTLINE, filmmaker Tom Curran and reporter Mark Trahant examine this little-known chapter of the abuse scandal, focusing on one particular village on the state's far-west coast, where some 80% of the children were molested. Candid interviews with survivors paint a devastating picture of youth betrayed by the very authority figures who were supposed to bring new hope and opportunity to these isolated communities.
