Spotlight (2015)
A powerful institution concealed harm for decades. Investigative journalism broke it open.
Where to Watch
Synopsis
The true story of the Boston Globe's Spotlight team, whose investigation uncovered the Catholic Church's systematic cover-up of child abuse by priests.
Our Review
While the subject matter differs, the cover-up architecture is identical to the asbestos industry: a powerful institution that knew about harm, used lawyers and money to silence victims, and relied on public trust to avoid accountability. Best Picture winner.
Who Should Watch
Anyone who wants to understand how institutional cover-ups work and how they are eventually exposed.
