Spotlight director Tom McCarthy says Catholic Church needs more change
Tom McCarthy told Variety at the New York Film Festival that a decade after his film Spotlight won Best Picture, the Catholic Church has not made enough progress protecting children.
McCarthy assesses impact of film
The director stated that he has heard from many people who felt understood after seeing the movie released in 2016. When asked if the film caused significant change within the institution, McCarthy replied that the answer is not really. He emphasized that current efforts are insufficient until every child is safe.
Director calls for zero sum game
McCarthy described safety as a zero sum game where nothing is enough until total protection is achieved. He expressed a desire to see more change happen within the organization. The director noted that this lack of progress remains an issue ten years later.
