Why watch this? This
covers the breaking story that many refused to believe.
Plot Summary:
This crime true story recounts the Boston Globe's investigative
reporting team as they uncover a massive scandal within the
local Catholic Archdiocese. Prompted by a new editor, the team
begins to delve into allegations of child molestation by priests
and discovers a deep-rooted cover-up. Their meticulous
investigation ultimately exposes a system that protected
perpetrators and silenced victims, shaking the entire Catholic
Church to its core.
Dad's Preview:
Child manipulation and molestation are horrible. There can be no
tolerance of it. Catholic priests are revered like they are
God. This power, in the hands of people who are around children
a great deal, can only corrupt. It also attracts those who's
motive is to
molest our most innocent. When confronted, the Church covers it up.
The
pedophile priests are transferred to new parishes. It's so
goddamn ugly and disgusting. You need to see this
film, about the determination to bringing sin into light.
Covering up for pedophiles... God can't be happy about that.
