The Correspondent

Synopsis

While covering the Al Jazeera news desk in Cairo during the Arab Spring, Australian journalist Peter Greste (Richard Roxburgh) 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.

“A stand-out performance from Richard Roxburgh” (Filmink)
“Sweat-inducingly tense (…) A tightly drawn portrait of one man’s determination to speak truth to power, no matter the consequences” (Screen Hub)
