Spotlight
When the Boston Globe's tenacious "Spotlight" team of reporters delves 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.

McCarthy is interested in more than lionizing the Boston Globe’s reporters who did the hard work. There is a higher goal within Spotlight. The film merges the facts of the news story, the people behind it, and the people affected by it. Just as the Boston Globe broke these horrific stories, Spotlight builds on that foundation, offering an essential investigation into what enabled pervasive child abuse.
