Truth at all costs
They can’t bring you down. You can fight. For what you believe. For who, and what, you love.
It takes a lifetime to build a career with integrity and a single tweet to unravel it. Anna Kay, top rated television journalist, mother and wife is now a news subject herself, and the haters are piling on. Her decision to leave her marriage and pursue a passionate affair with a recent source incites the wrath of the masses and threatens her credibility, all as she prepares to break the biggest story of her career. Truth at all costs, but best stay in your lane.
Starring Caroline Craig (Underbelly, Blue Heelers), directed by Carissa Licciardello, and written by Suzie Miller (Prima Facie starring Jodie Comer recently on London’s West End), Anna K weaves a breakneck story of romance, power, and tenacity. In a world promising equality and autonomy, why isn’t the fight over?
