Sex Scandals In Religion

This documentary takes a look into four different scandals within four different religious faiths.

Following this, the documentary turns to North America, visiting Orthodox Jewish communities in Winnipeg and Brooklyn where allegations of pedophilia have dived the communities. The high authority of a Buddhist Master is then examined, as a young woman accuses him of sexual servitude.
