DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ken Loach United Kingdom

His films like 'Kes' and 'I, Daniel Blake' critically examine institutional systems including religious education's role in perpetuating class divisions.

 Pedro Almodóvar Spain

He repeatedly explores Catholic repression and its psychological impact on Spanish society through intimate character studies in films like 'The Bad Education.'

 Atom Egoyan Canada

His films 'Where the Truth Lies' and 'Spotlight' (which he contributed to discussions on) examine institutional abuse and Catholic complicity with unflinching moral complexity.
