Film
The Post (TBA)
We have added an extra screening on Monday 5 March to make up for a cancellation on Thursday 1 March caused by the snowy weather.
A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents and pushed the country's first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between journalist and government has inspired this film. Katharine Graham was the first female publisher of a major American newspaper, The Washington Post. With help from Editor Ben Bradlee, they expose a massive cover-up of government secrets.
Described as a Hollywood all-star team’s riposte to Donald Trump, The Post dramatises the Washington Post’s publication of the classified Pentagon Papers, which exposed government lies about the Vietnam war.
