Open Road Films released Spotlight in select theaters on
Friday, November 6th. The film centers around the Catholic Church's
history with child molestation and cover-ups. It has been received by
audiences as an honest portrayal of an important topic in need of
addressing.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The 128-minute, star-studded film features the true story of how The Boston Globe revealed the cover-up of child molestation within the local Catholic Archdiocese thirteen years ago. Since originally airing in a film festival in Venice, Spotlight has been screened in select theaters off-and-on and has been met with several clashing reactions. One Vatican Radio commentator claimed The Boston Globe's reporting helped the United States Catholic Church "accept fully the sin, to admit it publicly, and to pay all the consequences."
