"Spotlight" -- a film which infused life into an award-winning
investigative teams story that exposed a Catholic paedophile scandal
involving priests in Boston -- was named as the Best Picture at the
Oscars this year. And Michael Rezendes, one of the journalists who
worked on the story, says the relevance of the issue doesnt end with the
movie.
In the film, Tom McCarthy's dramatic depiction shows the whole process of the 2002 investigation that blew open the child sex abuse in the Catholic Church and also puts in the spotlight the emotions that the journalists went through as it questioned their faith and religion. The investigative team of The Boston Globe won the Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for the story.
