The channel &Privé HD is all set to premiere the political thriller The Post on Saturday, July 28, at 1:00 pm and 9:00 pm. The film, directed by the master storyteller and one of the most sought-after directors, Steven Spielberg, reminds us of the essential role the media plays in a healthy functioning democracy. It stars Hollywood’s powerhouse performers Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep in the lead roles.
Based on a true event from the 1970’s America, The Post depicts the story of journalists at The Washington Post who fought to publish the Pentagon Papers, a set of classified documents regarding the 30-year involvement of the United States government in the Vietnam War. The movie is centred on the first female publisher, Katherine Graham (Meryl Streep), and her no-nonsense editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) who fights all odds to expose a cover-up of the Government.
