Newsroom drama written and directed by James Vanderbilt, based on the memoir by Mary Mapes and true events. The story follows the decision by journalist and TV news producer Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett) and long-standing newscaster Dan Rather (Robert Redford) of CBS News to air a pre-election segment detailing how President George W. Bush managed to evade conscription during the Vietnam War, an episode in the programme's history now referred to as the 'Killian documents controversy'. When it is alleged that the memos used as evidence for the story were faked, a brutal investigation begins that implicates all members of the production team including Mike Smith (Topher Grace), Lucy Scott (Elisabeth Moss) and Lt. Colonel Roger Charles (Dennis Quaid).

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play. Directed by James Vanderbilt, Truth is based on the book “Truth and Duty” by Mary Mapes, played in the film by Cate Blanchett who stars with Robert Redford as Dan Rather. The film chronicles the story Mapes and Rather uncovered that sitting US president, George W. Bush, may have been AWOL from the United States National Guard for over a year during the Vietnam War. When the story blew up in their face, the ensuing scandal ruined Dan Rather’s career, nearly changed a US Presidential election, and almost took down all of CBS News in the process.
