In a world television first, Revelation takes cameras into criminal trials of two of the world's most notorious Catholic priests accused of sex crimes against children. Through a series of extraordinary interviews conducted during the trials, for the first time anywhere in the world Sarah Ferguson gets paedophile priests to reveal their double lives and motivations. Ferguson interviews one of the world's most prolific child abusers in a maximum security prison, the first time such access has been granted in Australia and confronts Church leaders on their complicity in the cover-up of these crimes. Across all three episodes, victims break decades of silence to share their harrowing stories.
