Join St. Louis Public Radio and Cinema St. Louis to experience one of the most powerful intersections of film and journalism.This year marks a decade since the release of "Spotlight," the Academy Award–winning film that dramatized the Boston Globe’s groundbreaking investigation into clergy sexual abuse and cover-ups within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. Based on the Globe’s Pulitzer Prize–winning reporting, "Spotlight" captures the relentless pursuit of truth by the newspaper’s investigative unit.
Sacha Pfeiffer, portrayed in the film by Rachel McAdams, will join "St. Louis on the Air" executive producer Alex Heuer for a post-screening conversation followed by an audience Q&A about the film and the importance of investigative journalism
