Deliver Us From Evil
Oliver O'Grady spent nearly two decades moving from parish to parish in California's Catholic diocese of Stockton, molesting children the whole time while church officials transferred him rather than reported him. Filmmaker Amy Berg sits down with O'Grady himself, now living free in Ireland, and gets him to describe his crimes with an unsettling calm on camera. She pairs that testimony with interviews from his victims and their families, including Bob and Wilma Jyono, whose daughter was abused by O'Grady while he was a family friend, and with church documents and depositions that trace exactly who knew what and when. Cardinal Roger Mahony's own sworn testimony surfaces as evidence of an institution managing a scandal rather than stopping an abuser. The film moves between quiet home-video footage of the victims as children and the cold language of diocesan paperwork, building a record of decisions rather than a single accusation. It ends with O'Grady still free, the church's payouts made, and the question of accountability left open.
