At Columbia Journalism School in New York City, a screening of this year's winner of the best picture Oscar “Spotlight,” followed by a conversation with two Boston Globe team members portrayed in the film, editor Walter "Robby" Robinson (played by Michael Keaton) and reporter Sacha Pfeiffer (played by Rachel McAdams).

Spotlight” is a true-to-life, riveting testament to heroic and tenacious reporting, bound to inspire any journalism student. When the Boston Globe’s “Spotlight” team of reporters delves into allegations of abuse in the Catholic Church, their year-long investigation uncovers a decades-long cover-up at the highest levels of Boston's religious, legal, and government establishment, touching off a wave of revelations around the world. 

The "Spotlight" screening is sponsored by The Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma, The Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Awards, The Columbia Journalism School Documentary Program,  and the Sevellon Brown Fund.
