shareSt. Louis Public Radio and Cinema St. Louis present an exploration of one of the most powerful intersections of film and journalism. This year marks a decade since SPOTLIGHT, the Academy Award-winning film about the Boston Globe’s investigation into clergy abuse and cover-ups in the Catholic Church. Based on the Globe’s Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting, SPOTLIGHT reflects the enduring power of investigative journalism.
75% of film ticket revenue will be donated back to STLPR in support of access to independent journalism.
Sacha Pfeiffer, portrayed in the film by Rachel McAdams, was part of that team and is now an investigative correspondent for NPR. She’ll join St. Louis on the Air executive producer Alex Heuer for a post-screening conversation followed by an audience Q&A.
