Spotlight Trailer

Michael Rezendes is a dedicted reporter for the Boston Globe and part of their Spotlight Team; an investigative division focused on justice and whistle-blowing. When accusations of child sex abuse by members of the Catholic Church arise, he leads the team into their latest case, determined to uncover the truth about a morally questionable priest and his scandalous activities across six different parishes over the course of several decades. It is alleged that the church knew what was going on, but chose not to act and hold their reputation above the welfare of their children. Not only that, but past statements from attorneys don't appear to add up and a delicate battle ensues with the government and police all getting involved as the Boston Globe take on the church. There's a large team at the newspaper working on bringing this case into the open once and for all, and they refuse to let these atrocities be swept under the rug another time.

'Spotlight' is an upcoming drama based on the 2002 findings of the Boston Globe team, whose dedicated detective work won them the following year's Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. The film has been directed and co-written by the Oscar nominated Tom McCarthy ('Up', 'The Station Agent', 'The Visitor'), alongside writer Josh Singer ('The Fifth Estate', 'The West Wing'), and it is set to hit US theaters on November 6th 2015.
