With director Tom McCarthy already in town to begin shooting “Spotlight,” about the Boston Globe’s 2002 investigation into the Catholic Church’s sexual abuse scandal involving clergy, it’s worth noting that two local documentarians have completed their latest film on the subject. John J. Michalczyk, who heads Boston College’s film studies program and whose other documentaries also focus on issues of social justice, and his wife, producer and writer Susan Michalczyk, will premiere “A Matter of Conscience: Confronting Clergy Abuse” on Oct. 4 at 2 p.m. at the Museum of Fine Arts. The new documentary, about the “Catholic whistleblowers” who reported clergy abuse to authorities and suffered retaliation from Church leaders, is a sequel to the Michalczyks’ 2013 film, “Who Takes Away the Sins . . . Witnesses to Clergy Abuse,” which also ran at the MFA. The screening of “A Matter of Conscience” will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers.
