Official Secrets tells the story of Katherine Gun (Keira Knightley), who worked for GCHQ in the run up to the Iraq War. When she discovers an email that urges spying on members of the UN Security Council to force through the resolution to go to war, she feels compelled to leak it to the press.
Martin Bright, the journalist played by Matt Smith in the film, will be joining us for a Q&A after the screening!
Don't worry if you'd like to see both films – each has a screening on the second day of the festival as well!
