Nothing But the Truth (2008) Kate Beckinsale Matt Dillon Angela Bassett Alan Alda Vera Farmiga Rod Lurie

Thinking Pulitzer Prize and hoping to bring down a President, D. C. political columnist Rachel Armstrong (Beckinsale) writes that the President ignored the findings of a covert CIA operative when ordering air strikes against Venezuela. Rachel names the agent, Erica Van Doren (Farmiga), a woman whose young daughter is in Rachel s son s class at school. The government moves quickly to force Rachel to name her source. She s jailed for contempt when she refuses. She won t change her mind, and the days add up. Chaos descends on Van Doren s life as well. First Amendment versus national security, marriage and motherhood versus separation.
