Behind the Headlines

dir. Daniel Sager/Germany/2020/90 min.

Two years after exposing the Panama Papers, the investigative journalists at Germany’s largest daily newspapar Süddeutsche Zeitung are facing new challenges: the political murder of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia and a mysterious arms dealer linked to the Iranian nuclear missile programme. In the spring of 2019 a secret video is leaked to them, uncovering a new scandal involving Austrian vice chancellor HC Strache.
