Synopsis
The Correspondent (2025) is an Australian drama-thriller from Kriv Stenders that you can watch online on iFILM. It draws on what happened to reporter Peter Greste, seized in Cairo in December 2013 while covering one of the most dangerous beats on earth. Richard Roxburgh takes the lead.
Truth is not the only casualty here. Accused of terrorism almost on arrival, Greste finds himself a pawn between corrupt officials and old political rivalries, with only his wits to keep him standing. Most of the film unfolds from inside a cell — the hearings, the waiting, the slow work of holding onto his mind and building a defense while the system tries to break him. Rahel Romahn and Yael Stone round out the cast.
Stenders skips the loud courtroom spectacle for something tighter: a study of survival and the price of reporting honestly, told almost entirely from behind prison walls. It's a strong pick for anyone drawn to stories of journalists under pressure and true-life legal drama. Stream The Correspondent (2025) online on iFILM.
