#NoFemmeber #NonFictionNovember I have not read the book but the film is excellent. Spotlight shines the #harshestLight unto widespread child abuse in Boston perpetrated by a ring of Catholic Priests and covered up by the Church. The story was investigated and made public by a team of reporters from the Boston Globe Newspaper, creating shockwaves throughout the world. Book is currently $3.99 on Kindle.

TrishB My IRL friend and I read together- very thought provoking as these subjects are. A good read. I never lend books out I haven‘t yet read, I‘m mean!! 7y
Centique I loved this movie! Such a good way of coming at a terrible subject. 7y
Cinfhen Agreed @Centique 7y
Reggie @TrishB @Centique @Cinfhen Have you ever seen a movie called Calgary. It‘s a few years old and has Brenden Gleason as a priest where the opening at confession is a confessor tells him that he has a week to live before said confessor/survivor of sexual abuse at the hands of a priest but not this priest, is going to kill him? It‘s soooo good. 7y
TrishB @Reggie no- but sounds really good 👍🏻 I‘ll look out for it. 7y
Cinfhen Have not seen but hubby is the movie guy in our house @Reggie I‘ll have to ask him if he‘s seen this movie! 7y
KarenUK @reggie ‘Calvary‘ really is sooooo good! 7y
Billypar So heartbreaking- you keep thinking you've heard the worst, and then something like the Pennsylvania report comes out about the extent of statewide incidents of abuse followed by cover-ups that went on for literally decades...really makes you wonder about the true number that includes those that never get reported.. 7y
Reggie @KarenUK lol, whoops, thank you. 7y
Centique @Reggie oooh sounds good. I‘ll go look for it. I‘m nearly as obsessive about my movie Wishlist over on IMDB as I am about my TBR here 😂 7y
KarenUK @Reggie 😉💕👍 7y
