'Spotlight' Is More Relevant Than Ever 10 Years Later

Journalism has long been a popular subject for movies, having been the focus of such classics as Ace in the Hole (1951), All the President's Men (1976), Broadcast News (1987), and arguably the greatest film ever made, Citizen Kane (1941). But, as far as journalism films released in the 21st century go, no film has come close to topping Spotlight(2015). Directed by Tom McCarthy, Spotlight centers on a small group of reporters at The Boston Globe, known as the "Spotlight" team, who investigate allegations of child molestation by Catholic priests and uncover a systemic cover-up by the Boston Catholic Church. The film was so well-received by critics that it won two Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
