Synopsis

In Chile, the Catholic Church went from being a refuge and moral voice to an institution marked by abuse, cover-ups, and social disconnection. Through La Legua, worker priests, lay people, and dissidents, we confront the collapse of the hierarchy with the portrait of a broken faith that, from the margins, seeks to be reborn.
