Synopsis

La fugida delves into the story of two cases of abuse by Jesuits in two leading Barcelona schools: the Jesuits of Sarrià and the Jesuits of Casp. Lluís Tó and Francesc Peris, alias "Xesco", were chaplains and Jesuit school teachers who abused boys and girls for more than thirty years. Both have a common element: they were both transferred to Bolivia by the Jesuit Order, where they continued their abuse with total freedom. Now it is their victims who explain and revisit the effects of these abuses. A journey into the darkness of impunity that unites the cities of Barcelona and Cochabamba. An original 3Cat production in co-production with Ottokar and Prensa Ibérica, based on the 8-year research by El Periódico journalist Guillem Sánchez.
