I saw the movie Spotlight last week and was so impressed with this film, I spent the next day rereading some of the actual Spotlight coverage and testimonials from survivors of those who were abused by priests. I remember when the first article came out here in Boston and how shocking it was. I was sent some additional material from the film and am happy to share and hope others are inspired to both see this important film and take action for survivors:

I was really hoping they would spend 10 minutes at the end on the REACTION to the publication. All the drama leading up to it and no ramifications shown on screen. It was a great film though and I got to attend a Q and A with Robby and the other journo after the screening, and they were awesome.

Good point, although I think it is fair to say we are still reacting!
