Nothing But the Truth (2008)

In the pulsating heart of Washington D.C., Rachel Armstrong, a determined investigative journalist for the Capital Sun-Times, battles to maintain a precarious equilibrium between her role as a wife, mother, and career woman. Her explosive story, bound to catapult her into the echelons of Pulitzer fame, uncovers a scandal that could shake the very pillars of the current administration. Rachel's story exposes covert CIA operative Erica Van Doren, wife of a prominent Ambassador, who found irrefutable proof that Venezuela was innocent of an assassination attempt on the U.S. President. Ignoring Erica's findings, the administration retaliates with air strikes against Venezuela, an act that Rachel's story likens to scandals as shocking as Watergate. The twist? Erica's daughter is in the same class as Rachel's son, but their paths have barely crossed beyond their shared schoolyard duties. The story sends shockwaves through the political landscape, but instead of focusing on the White House's actions, the spotlight mercilessly falls on the two women. The government, in the guise of national security, is relentless in their pursuit to force Rachel to reveal her source, even employing special prosecutor Patton Dubois. The newspaper fights back, hiring high-powered attorney Albert Burnside to defend Rachel's First Amendment right to protect her source. Rachel's unyielding stance against revealing her source, matched equally by Dubois's relentless pursuit, spirals into a tense showdown with dire consequences. As Rachel faces potential jail time for contempt, the once stable life of Erica Van Doren descends into chaos. An intricate tapestry of national security versus the freedom of speech, the sanctity of motherhood and marriage against the reality of separation, Nothing But the Truth paints a compelling portrait of the price one may pay for upholding a principle.

Nothing But the Truth is a drama movie featuring Kate Beckinsale.
