SPOTLIGHT tells the riveting true story of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe investigation that would rock the city and cause a crisis in one of the world’s oldest and most trusted institutions. When the newspaper’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.

The film will be introduced by Marty Baron, executive editor of The Washington Post and former Boston Globe editor depicted in the film. This event is sponsored by the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism. Admission to this event is free!

“It’s not a stretch to suggest that Spotlight is the finest newspaper movie of its era, joining Citizen Kane and All the President’s Men in the pantheon of classics of the genre.” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

“Spotlight is a masterpiece.” -Brian Truit, USA Today
