Prey is a powerful and unflinching documentary that follows Rod MacLeod, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse by a Catholic priest, as he embarks on a landmark legal battle against the Basilian Fathers of Toronto. Eschewing the typical quiet out-of-court settlements favored by the Church, MacLeod and his tenacious lawyer, Rob Talach—nicknamed "the priest hunter"—seek public accountability and punitive damages in an Ontario courtroom. The film expertly balances the tension of a legal thriller with a deeply human portrait of trauma and resilience, utilizing haunting archival depositions and candid interviews to expose the systemic institutional denial that allowed such abuse to persist for decades.
