How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grueling portrait of one journalist's crusade to expose a government conspiracy and the systematic destruction that follows his truth-telling. This is a film about institutional power grinding down an individual, told with steady, unflinching focus on the cost of speaking out.
