The Boys of St. Vincent (1992)

This movie is based on actual events, but it says it is not all about one specific incident. It documents St. Vincent's Orphanage in Canada, where many of the boys suffer physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of the brothers who run the facility.

When the stories are surfaced and a police investigation is begun, religious and political groups work to silence the story to keep it from reaching the public.
