Saw this gripping film by @jamesjonesfilm late last year & highly recommend it. It is dramatic, harrowing & moving, revealing the high personal price a principled & uncompromising journalist @christogrozev has paid for being - in the eyes of very bad people - too good at his job.
Following the convictions of the spies at the Old Bailey in London we can now release the film.
