Spotlight tells the riveting true story of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe investigation that would rock the city and cause a crisis in one of the world’s oldest and most trusted institutions. When the newspaper’s tenacious “Spotlight” team of reporters delve into allegations of abuse in the Catholic Church, their year-long investigation uncovers a decades-long cover-up at the highest levels of Boston’s religious, legal, and government establishment, touching off a wave of revelations around the world.

Insider’s tip: “For all of its modesty and dedication to process, Spotlight winds up being a startlingly emotional experience, and not just for filmgoers with intimate knowledge of the culture it depicts” (Ann Hornaday, Washington Post).  Brian Truitt of USA Today adds: “. . . Spotlight is a masterpiece.” Nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, the film has amassed 64 wins out of 117 nominations thus far.  An engaging film from start to end.
