"Spotlight" - movie on Netflix.
I thought it was very good. It covers the Boston Globe's investigative journalism that revealed Cardinal Law's cover-up of priests who molest, abuse, and rape children. It might trigger some viewers.
Excellent cast, great acting.
I didn't follow the details of the story in 2002 and beyond. I think what surprised me was how many people gave cover to the archdiocese or priests to keep it under wraps, even in the courts. The archdiocese had a lot of power, and made we wonder if we could rely on courts.
