She risked everything to stop an unjust war. Her government called her a traitor. Based on world-shaking true events, it tells the untold story of British Intelligence specialist Katharine Gun in the lead up to the 2003 Iraq War.
Receiving a memo with a shocking directive to collect blackmail-worthy information on UN council members to force the vote for the invasion of Iraq, she is unable to stand by and watch the world rush into an illegal war. Gun thus makes the gut-wrenching decision to defy her government and leak the memo to the press. So begins an explosive chain of events that will ignite an international firestorm, expose a vast political conspiracy, and put Gun and her family directly in harm’s way.
Premieres Saturday, 25 July at 9pm on HBO GO and HBO.
