Procession on Netflix brings 6 survivors together

Procession on Netflix Depicts the Art Which Cinema Is, Bundled With Real-Life Trauma

TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of Sexual Abuse

In his latest documentary about Catholic Church sex abuse, Robert Green shares
directing credits with 6 middle-aged midwestern men who went through the
unspeakable during their childhood. Procession on Netflix is awaiting its
release on November 12 in theaters and November 19 on the streaming platform.




WHAT IS PROCESSION ON NETFLIX ABOUT?

As survivors of any form of abuse would know, healing doesn’t come easily. It
takes years of character development and growth to forget the past and come to
terms with it. And yet, a single act or incident can trigger their PTSD,
reversing all the progress made.

Six middle-aged men came together with the American documentary filmmaker,
editor, and writer to create a masterpiece. The men were all survivors of
Catholic sex abuse at the hands of priests and clergymen. A church, for them,
was not a place that could provide them with any form of peace whatsoever.

And so working with Greene on Procession would allow them to speak out against
the wrongs they’ve been through, using “drama therapy”. The documentary received
massively positive critical acclaim at the Telluride Film Festival.


HOW DOES PROCESSION HELP THE MEN OR OTHER VICTIMS OF CHURCH SEX ABUSE?

As an experimental healing catharsis inspired by drama, Greene brought these men
together to direct a film based on their sufferings. The process of this
collaborative teamwork would urge them to create fictional scenes based on
memories, experiences, and dreams. The documentary Procession surrounds
traditions, cultures, rituals, and hierarchies of the Catholic church system.

In an interview with IndieWire
[https://www.indiewire.com/influencers/robert-greene-film-team/], Greene
mentioned how “the filmmaking decisions are all tied into choices to be
therapeutic.”

And so, in a very Charles Dickens and David Copperfield style, the men were
given a platform to grow out of their trauma by putting all their anger and
distress into art. Each survivor was writing their own script and directing it
themselves. The end results were collaborated to create something all victims of
similar abuse could see themselves in.

Not only did Procession [https://www.netflix.com/in/title/81513706] prove to be
something that allowed the six men to reclaim their voices, but it also became a
platform. The men now had a voice that would not only allow but also encourage
them to speak against a failed legal system that provided a safe space for the
culprits to do something as immoral, unethical, and downright abhorrent as
sexual abuse.

With Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/in/title/81513706] having over 200 million
users, the documentary is bound to leave a mark.
