To mark the occasion of the Italian release of Spotlight by director Tom McCarthy, FRED’s Chiara Nicoletti is joined by actor Michael Keaton and the real life man whom he portrays in the film, the Pulitzer Prize winning Boston Globe editor, Walter Robinson.

The film is currently up for six Academy Awards, including one for Best Motion Picture of the Year, and Best Achievement in Directing for Tom McCarthy.

We talk with them about the importance of making films like Spotlight, that have the power to shake people up. We also ask Keaton about how he prepared for the role, and he tells us about the interesting process, as he had the chance to literally “study” Robinson, talking to him and absorbing his way of doing things: “it was a lot like having the answers to the test.”

SPOTLIGHT tells the riveting true story of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe investigation that would rock the city and cause a crisis in one of the world’s oldest and most trusted institutions. When the newspaper’s tenacious “Spotlight” team of reporters delve 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.
