THE CORRESPONDENT is a gripping biographical thriller about the relentless defence of the truth and triumph of the human spirit. While covering the news desk in Cairo over the Christmas holidays, Australian journalist Peter Greste is arrested and accused of terrorism.

He has become a pawn in the middle of a deadly game full of corrupt officials and ancient rivalries. Now the subject of his own worldwide news story, with only his wits and unlikely allies keeping him alive, Greste’s freedom and his very survival means staring down a brutal regime.

THE CORRESPONDENT is produced by Carmel Travers with a screenplay by Peter Duncan based on Peter Greste’s memoir The First Casualty. The film has received major production investment from Screen Australia in association with Screen NSW under the Made in NSW Fund and the Regional Filming Fund.

Financed with support from Jovial Planet Productions, Spectrum Entertainment, Dreamlight Studio, the Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund, Fulcrum Media Finance and High Pass Holdings. Produced by Pop Family Entertainment.
