The Correspondent
Synopsis
Screening at Luna Leederville, Luna Outdoor, Windsor & Luna on SX
While covering the news desk in Cairo for a colleague over the Christmas holidays, Australian journalist Peter Greste is arrested and accused of terrorism. He has become a pawn in the middle of a deadly game full of corrupt officials and ancient rivalries. Now the subject of his own worldwide news story, with only his wits and unlikely allies keeping him alive, Greste’s very survival means staring down a brutal regime. The Correspondent is a gripping thriller and a compelling true story about the relentless defence of the truth and triumph of the human spirit. Starring Richard Roxburgh as Peter Greste and directed by Kriv Stenders (Red Dog).
Reviews
Essential viewing.
With everything going on in the world right now, clear-eyed films examining the dangers faced by a fair and free press are vitally important.
Kafkaesque... Roxburgh absolutely crushes it.
