I don't often recommend movies - in fact, I recommended people not watch them (See Dr. David P. Murray's great sermon: Should Christians Watch Movies?)
But Spotlight is a great movie that needs to be watched - both by Christians and non-Christians. For a great review of this movie, check out:
Spotlight Joins 'All the President's Men' in the Pantheon of Great Journalism Movies'
Excerpt from this article:
"It’s not a stretch to suggest that “Spotlight” is the finest newspaper movie of its era, joining “Citizen Kane” and “All the President’s Men” in the pantheon of classics of the genre."
--------------------------
The message of "Spotlight" is twofold:
1. It is never OK to abuse a child (sexually or otherwise)
2. It is never OK to cover up abuse of a child
Our Lord Jesus says:
"It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
It
were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he
cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." - Luke 17:1,2
