As I think I mentioned before, but I'm old...

You may also like the 2005 TV movie "Our Fathers." It covers the same story, the Boston Globe expose and the stonewalling/denials by the One True Church.

Worth watching just for Christopher Plummer's chilling portrayal of Cardinal Law(less). With Ted Danson and a generally fine cast.
