Official Secrets is now out in theaters. It tells the story of a British Intelligence analyst Katherine Gun who leaked a memo that showed the U.S. and Britain attempting to get a UN resolution to sanction war in Iraq by leaning on UN members. It’s a true story and stars Keira Knightly and Ralph Fiennes. The film was co-written and directed by Gavin Hood. I had a wonderful opportunity to talk with Gavin about the film. There were obviously some special circumstances with a film like this that depicts living people. How did he handle all of that? I found out and now so can you and you won’t need an NSA wiretap to do it. Bang it here to listen in on my chat with Gavin Hood.
