TRUTH is the feature film based on the book Truth and Duty: The Press, The President, and The Privilege of Power by Mary Mapes. It is the true story of Mary Mapes (played by Cate Blanchett) an award-winning CBS News Journalist and Dan Rather’s (played by Robert Redford) 60 Minutes producer.
The film chronicles the story Mapes and Rather uncovered that a sitting US president 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.
And we've got an EXCLUSIVE clip you can watch below. Truth opens in cinemas tomorrow (Friday 4th March)
