Thank you Vanity Fair and Cassie Da Costa for the feature. This group of men created a community of support and their courage is inspiring global recognition. Check out the full article on the link in our bio!

“It’s that vulnerability, experienced among a group of adult men, that makes the film work both on the level of the specific abuses it recounts and on a societal level. The experience of trauma, as it turns out, is nearly universal—but it’s rare to see a group of men openly confronting their darkest, most repressed experiences. In Procession, they hug one another, allow one another to cry. To this day, they’re there to answer one another’s calls, whether for emotional or practical help.” - Vanity Fair

The Netflix film, shortlisted for the best-documentary Oscar, is a collaboration between filmmaker Robert Greene and six men who were sexually abused by Catholic priests as children.

Robert Greene

“Excited to share this deleted scene from PROCESSION, made out of a moment that was crucial to our overall journey. In April 2019, just a month into filming, Ed - one of the six men we were
beginning to work with - had an idea to go back to Cheyenne, WY where he'd been abused by a Bishop named Joseph Hart.
We would never have had the idea ourselves to to go back to places of abuse - frankly, we didn't have the courage. But Ed did, and what he accomplished in
Wyoming inspired the other guys to try to "take the power back" as Dan says in the film.

This scene takes place after we went to the cathedral, which you see in the film. This is on Easter
Sunday of all days. Ed couldn't have imagined finding this spot in Vedauwoo, WY, but it was burned into his soul. Now that the film is out, we're continuing to fight for justice in Cheyenne for Ed and the other survivors of Hart. We want arrests.”

We're proud to share this scene - Ed's trip to the rock with Michael, the first trip like this that we took.

PROCESSION is now on !

Thank you to The New Yorker and Richard Brody for the wonderful feature! Check out the full article!

“As Phinney explains, the clinical purpose of dramatizing trauma is “putting it out into the world” in order to “take it back in through the logical and reasonable part of our brains.” For Greene, the cinema, with its power of montage—its blend of drama and documentary, of staging and behind-the-scenes planning—offers a way to break the silence and foster cathartic bursts of self-recognition and self-recovery. To do so, he calls attention to the very question of cinematic authorship.“ — The New Yorker
