How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut legal thriller about the collision between journalistic integrity and state power, where a reporter's principled refusal to name her source leads her into an escalating confrontation with the government. It's a high-stakes game of who blinks first, with prison time and constitutional principles hanging in the balance.
