SOLD OUT The Correspondent: Peter Greste in Conversation
Based on extensive interviews, research and first-hand experience, Peter Greste’s The Correspondent provides a firsthand insight into the challenges facing Western media in the face of terrorism – from Trump’s phony war on ‘fake news’ and the repression of Putin’s Russia, to the war zones in Ukraine and Gaza. Peter speaks to Ben Mckelvey about the ongoing importance of investigative journalism to shine a light amid the darkness of war, and the upcoming film The Correspondent starring Richard Roxburgh.
This event is sold out.
