Il était une fois... « Grâce à Dieu »

Inspired by a case of pedophilia in the diocese of Lyon, "Grâce à Dieu" recounts the struggle of former victims to reveal a scandal suppressed by the Church.

Melvil Poupaud and Swan Arlaud, who play two of the victims, are interviewed, as are the two founders of the association that led the fight: François Devaux and Alexandre Hezez. Jean-Marc Sauvé, author of a damning report on sexual abuse in the Church, underlines the impact of this film on the evolution of the law and the Church.
