Robbieis the editor of Focus. Focus is a column of the Boston Globe. It has an independent investigative team. The members include Sacha Pefferand Mike Rezendes, Matt Carroll. When Marty Barontook over as the editor-in-chief of the Globe, he began to assign Robbie and his team to follow a long-hidden case of sexual harassment by a Catholic priest. Kid in the house. Although they thought it was just a small task at first, they soon discovered that a series of incidents were hidden behind it, involving hundreds of victims, and the church had privately compensated the victims and sent people to cover up these crimes. As the investigation deepened, they found more evidence of this conspiracy. Not only the clergy, but outside Boston, and even the whole world, such atrocities were being staged. Robbie and his team encountered the local area. The constraints of officials. The forces inside and outside the church are putting pressure on them, wanting them to abandon this case, which fully reflects the vicious circle of abuse of power.

The script is excellent. The rest is too neat and tight photography does not create a sense of documentary, on the contrary, it makes people feel like a series.

The whole movie is like an excellent news report itself, stating the ins and outs, introducing characters, searching for evidence, and solving difficulties. Calm and organized, it is said that the real reporter's office and living environment are restored very appropriately (no one yells in the office...). Of course, in order to maintain this tone, the story of the news itself is weakened, and the character of the reporter itself cannot be deeply shaped.

Ben Bradlee Jr.: 90 fucking priests. In Boston?
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: That's what he said.
Ben Bradlee Jr.: If there were 90 of these bastards, people would know.
Mike Rezendes: Maybe they do.
Ben Bradlee Jr.: And no one said a thing?
Mike Rezendes: Good Germans?
Ben Bradlee Jr.: I don't think that's a comparison you want to make publicly.

Mike Rezendes: Do you still go to mass?
Richard Sipe: No, I haven't been to church for some time now but I still consider myself a Catholic.
Mike Rezendes: How does that work?
Richard Sipe: The Church is an institution, Mike, made of men. It's passing. My faith is in the eternal. I try to separate the two.
