Nothing But the Truth

• Drama
• Thriller

A tightly wound legal and political thriller, *Nothing But the Truth* explores the escalating consequences of journalistic integrity in a post-9/11 world. The film centers on a reporter’s unwavering commitment to protecting her source, a commitment that spirals into a high-stakes battle against governmental overreach, culminating in a Supreme Court showdown. Unlike typical courtroom dramas focused on guilt or innocence, this film examines the chilling implications of compelled testimony and the eroding boundaries of freedom of the press, framing imprisonment not as punishment for a crime, but as coercion against fundamental rights. The narrative generates a deeply uncomfortable tension where upholding principle leads to immense personal sacrifice, creating a surprisingly melancholic and contemplative atmosphere amidst the procedural elements.
