Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo, Brian d'Arcy star in the movie Spotlight.
One of the child abuse victims whose story inspired Spotlight has praised the filmmakers over their handling of the sensitive subject matter.
Phil Saviano was molested by a Catholic priest as a youngster and he later helped a team of Boston Globe journalists break a story about child abuse within
the church.
The 63 year old is played by actor Neal Huff in the movie, which is directed by Tom McCarthy and features an all-star cast of Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, John Slattery, and Stanley Tucci.
Spotlight has become an awards season favourite in recent weeks.
It is tipped as a potential Best Picture winner at the upcoming Academy Awards, and Saviano is adamant the cast and crew deserve recognition for their work on behalf of abuse victims.
