This film covers one of the initial exposures of the Catholic Church systematically enabling and covering up the rape of boys in the Boston, MA area by the Boston Globe Spotlight team.
It is probably the best journalistic movie since the 70s. It's on the level of All the President's Men.
The film is outstanding, and I highly encourage supporting it by going to see it.
Yes, Mark Ruffalo is a White Knight of the highest order, but the film is critical to this movement.
