Spotlight is an insightful film based on the true story of how journalists uncovered the scandal of child abuse in the Catholic Church
It is based on the true story of how journalists at the Boston Globe uncovered the scandal of child abuse in the Catholic Church in Boston, and the wall of silence that surrounded it.
Michael Keaton plays veteran reporter Walter “Robby” Robinson, working alongside hot-tempered Mike Rezendes, played by Mark Ruffalo, and Sacha Pfeiffer, played by Rachel McAdams.
The film has real insights to offer: the cast powerfully convey the journalists’ horror at realising the abuse stretches back decades or even centuries and also how abuse is as much about power as sex. A powerful story.
