Synopsis

Sixteen years ago, as the world was still grappling with the aftershocks of 9/11, politicians in the United States and Great Britain were angling for a motive to invade Iraq. On January 31, 2003, Katharine Gun, a 29-year-old translator at the British intelligence agency GCHQ, read a classified email that urged the blackmailing of United Nations members to ensure a yes vote on the controversial war resolution. What Gun did next—leaking the email to the public and placing herself at enormous personal and professional risk—was one of the bravest acts of a whistleblower in the last two decades.
