Through the prism of the confession box, 15 Catholic priests reflect on the sins that have resonated with them, from first confession to deathbed testimonies.

Filmed across the island of Ireland, priests from small parish churches to big city cathedrals speak candidly about what it is like to hear confessions.

As these stories unfold, our priests speak with honesty and clarity on the parallels with the sins of their church. They confront their own fallibility, the failings of the church hierarchy and the challenges facing us as a society, reflecting on the changing role of the church and its place and significance in the community.

The Confessors tells the story of the origin of confession and why so many embrace it. It charts the personal journeys of the priests from their calling to their ordination to their doubts and frustrations about the church, and to their hopes and fears for the future.
