A recently released American drama film depicting The Boston Globe’s Spotlight investigative team of journalists into the Massachusetts Catholic sex abuse crimes is not on a movie play list in Chatham.
Rob Talach, a London lawyer, is trying to reverse that decision.
Talach said he strongly urged officials at Galaxy Cineplex, which operates a movie theatre in Chatham, to show the movie locally, but was told Spotlight was not on its distribution plan.
“Chatham-Kent has been the epicentre (of Catholic sex abuse scandals) with one of the worst cases – (Charles Henry) Sylvestre and a number of other priests,” Talach told The Daily News.
In a Chatham court in 2006, Sylvestre pleaded guilty to indecent assault against 47 young girls and was sentenced to three years in prison.
