about the film and my thoughts

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2015)

I watched the trailer to this film and instantly wanted to watch it, spotlight is a film about a small group of journalists that finds stories and researches them to death. a new head editor comes to Boston Globe and gives a certain story to spotlight. this story isn't what people really want to read. this story is the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese. as the film goes on they have many cold leads but finally get a steady lead of victims and find more information about the whole situation. finally they find 87 priests that have molested and raped hundreds of children, trying to get the evidence and the victims in the film was shown hard as all the cases were handled in secret and no one was allowed to know. the film goes on and they finally get everything they need to write the story and finally the story is ran. the spotlight team come in after the paper went out and there phones don't stop ringing and they are mostly victims that they didn't even know about. at the end of the film the heavy length list of countries or states that have found out there are priest that are doing it there too.
the film is truly eye opening. I didn't know anything about this before I watched this film and they didn't sugarcoat it, they made it real and true because it was. they made sure they kept the truth in the film. the actors and actress were so perfect for the roles. over all I love this film and just shows and informs so many people what really happened. give it a watch!
