PREY Canadian Television Broadcast PREMIERE!

On November 19 at 9 pm ET, TVO presents the world broadcast and online premiere of TVO Original Preyon TVO and tvo.org.The acclaimed feature documentary from filmmaker Matt Gallagher is a moving and unflinching account of a sexual abuse survivor's legal fight against the Catholic Church in Ontario.

“Prey is a very special documentary,” says John Ferri, TVO Vice-President of Current Affairs and Documentaries. “It tells a story that has been too often swept under a legal rug. And it does so in the most compelling way, balancing compassion with a righteous anger.”
