Synopsis

Set in modern day Ireland , CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE is a controversial thriller inspired by real-life events surrounding the Catholic Church. Based on the shockwaves sent through a small community after the suicide of a local priest, CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE highlights the debate on the relevance of celibacy in the Catholic Church and the struggle that faces a church in need of reform in the twenty first century. Written and directed by John Deery and produced by Davina Stanley, the film is a collaborative project that has been nurtured through several years of development.
