Story: | 
In 2001, the Boston Globe began an investigation that would rock the city and 
shock the world. Spotlight tells the story of that investigation, the story of 
Marty Baron (Schreiber), Ben Bradlee Jr. (Slattery) and the four members of the 
Globe's investigative Spotlight team - Walter Robinson (Keaton), Mike Rezendes 
(Ruffalo), Sacha Pfeiffer (McAdams) and Matt Carroll (James) - who would 
sacrifice everything to expose the Boston Archdiocese's systemic cover up of 
sexual abuse of children by ordained priests. For years, whispers of scandal 
were ignored by society, the media, by police and by the legal system. Silenced 
by shame, victims of sexual abuse often became victims of suicide. For their 
commitment to truth, the Spotlight team received the Pulitzer Prize for Public 
Service.
