Thanks to
'Spotlight,' Roger Durling, the head of the fest (running Feb. 3-13), is
opening up about his "painful journey of healing": "Now I'm allowed to
feel vindicated." This story first appeared in the Feb. 12 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
I feared the idea of watching Spotlight, but as the credits
rolled, there was an incredible feeling of cathartic liberation. I sat
in the theater realizing that I was not invisible anymore. I had seen
victims of priest child abuse portrayed on the screen with the utmost
sympathy.http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/santa-barbara-film-fest-chief-861149
