THE CORRESPONDENT will be released nationally April 17

THE CORRESPONDENT is a gripping biographical thriller about the defence of the truth and the human spirit. Starring Richard Roxburgh in a career best performance and directed by Kriv Stenders (Red Dog).
When Australian war correspondent Peter Greste (Richard Roxburgh) arrives in Cairo to cover for a reporter on Christmas leave, the political temperature is high. Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi’s military takeover of the Egyptian government is all but complete. Greste, a veteran of Middle East conflict, is alert but not alarmed – he’s unaware of the depth of Sisi’s hatred of his current employer, Al Jazeera, for its reporting of the coup. From the moment he steps foot in Egypt, a plan is set in motion to arrest Greste and his crew. What unfolds is a descent into a Kafkaesque nightmare in which Greste is seen as collateral damage in the war on truth.
