Taking on the Catholic Church must have been pretty daunting for the Spotlight investigative team at the Boston Globe newspaper. The film of the same name, Spotlight,
was one of the most challenging and brilliant films I have seen in a
very long time. Gripping, enthralling and upsetting to think about the
thousands of lives affected by the breaking of that most sacred of
trusts between priests and vulnerable children.
Starring a plethora of fabulous character actors – Michael Keaton,
Leiv Schrieber, Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo, John Slattery, Stanley
Tucci, and written and directed by Tom McCarthy, the film systematically
takes us through the painstaking investigative process that a group of
reporters undertook to shed light on the abuse of children by priests
and members of the Catholic clergy throughout the Boston diocese between
the 1960s and the early 2000s.http://villainesse.com/culture/spotlight-fighting-darkness-within-catholic-church
