Official Secrets
Nothing is more dangerous than the truth.
Directed by Gavin Hood
Produced by Clear Pictures Entertainment, Screen Yorkshire
A tense political thriller about moral courage in the face of institutional power, grounded in real events and driven by questions of conscience versus complicity.
The true story of British intelligence whistleblower Katharine Gun who—prior to the 2003 Iraq invasion—leaked a top-secret NSA memo exposing a joint US-UK illegal spying operation against members of the UN Security Council. The memo proposed blackmailing member states into voting for war.
