Official Secrets is the gripping American-British docudrama film based on the life of whistleblower Katharine Gun (Keira Knightley) who leaked a memo detailing that the United States had eavesdropped on diplomats from countries tasked with passing a second United Nations resolution on the invasion of Iraq.
Insider tip: “The story Hood’s film tells is a vital one to revisit, not just because the deceptions it illuminates inform so much of the political and international morass affecting our daily lives, but also shows the power of a single act of moral courage, and it does so while being blisteringly entertaining cinema” (Oliver Jones, Observer).
OFFICIAL SECRETS has 2 wins and 2 additional nominations for excellence.
