"Brave & Strangely Arousing" Hugh Grant
"Hilarious. Highly Recommended" John Cleese

Rich Peppiatt, the former tabloid journalist who resigned from the Daily Star and revealed all at the Leveson Inquiry, turns the tables on deceitful elements of the UK media in a hilarious dissection of his former trade. Through a series of cunning stunts and interviews with heavyweights of journalism, politics and entertainment ONE ROGUE REPORTER is this year's most side-splittingly controversial documentary. Peppiatt's widely-acclaimed filmmaking debut - which premiered at Sheffield Doc/Fest and is currently screening in selected cinemas - will be made available across a range of platforms including iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Xbox 360 and GooglePlay from December 9, 2014.

ABOUT THE FILM

ONE ROGUE REPORTER is the story of Rich Peppiatt, a tabloid hack who snaps over his red top paper's fixation with sensationalism over substance and titillation over truth. When the phone hacking scandal engulfs Rupert Murdoch's News of the World, throwing tabloid ethics under the spotlight, Rich decides to use the skills he's honed on Fleet Street to turn-the-tables on the press barons peddling sex, lies, racism and scaremongering under the cloak of journalism. His film highlights the double-standards of some elements of the traditional media who have appointed themselves the UK's moral guardians. Peppiatt targets influential individuals including the Daily Mail's Paul Dacre and former Sun editor Kelvin Mackenzie with the tactics they employ to devastatingly hilarious effect.

Featuring interviews with heavyweights from film, comedy, journalism and politics including Steve Coogan, Hugh Grant, John Bishop, Kate Smurthwaite, Roy Greenslade, Nick Davies, Owen Jones, Joan Smith, AC Grayling, Kate Smurthwaite and former Deputy Prime Minister, ONE ROGUE REPORTER is a riotously satirical film: part exposé; part comedy caper and a rally against the dangers of unaccountable press power.

Everyone has fantasised about emailing their boss & unleashing what they really think of them. Few actually ever reach for the keyboard. Fewer still end up pressing 'send'. No one has made a film about it - until now.
