Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2016)

The journalism and print media have a hard time in the present times of online informations everywhere. The events of "Spotlight" at the editorial staff of The Boston Globe happened 2001, when the internet was new to the big crowd and journalists had time for deep research work because of a lot of print readers (and enough money available for good work. Because when things run massively wrong in society, like in this terrible case at the Catholic Church, it needs dedicated people, who look deeply behind the smokescreen. The movie shows, how difficult it is, to mess with established institutions like the church, because people don't want to know, that with this savior they believe in, something totally going wrong. The members of the Spotlight team are true heroes, working in the background. The movie put a spotlight on their outstanding work.
