📖 Story
When journalists at Boston Globe begin pulling at a thread, they discover an entire tapestry of abuse woven through the corridors of institutional power. Spotlight unravels not just a scandal, but the human cost of silence—the voices of victims finally breaking through decades of deliberate cover-up. What starts as one story becomes a moral reckoning, where persistence and integrity collide with the weight of uncovering truths that powerful institutions would rather keep buried.
