This movie was an excellent portrayal of the Pedophile priests serving God in Boston. Historically speaking, this is a much wider story. The true story SPOTLIGHT is a microcosm of what happened in First Nations for generations. Members of the clergy usually lived right in the communities. There is documented evidence by the churches themselves. Research into their archives bears witness to this. Priests who were caught molesting children were simply moved to another reserve where the abuse carried on. The nuns were also involved in the sexual exploitation of innocent children and youth. Priests were molesting little boys, impregnating young girls, and nuns were being impregnated by young boys. So much for celibacy and the honor of divinity. Sexual abuse by church officials was rampant in the residential schools according to a survivor.

Superbly written, directed and acted ! Definitely academy award worthy. There will be religious bigotry backlash so be prepared; but facts are facts.

Riveting. Everyone should see this movie. Excellent performances by all. It's the story of how a group of journalists at the Boston Globe broke the story of the Catholic Church sex scandal and how those in power covered it up for decades. This movie is up there with Watergate, for those of you who remember that political coverup of illegal activities by those in power.
