One Rogue Reporter is the story of Rich Peppiatt, a tabloid hack who snaps over his newspaper's fixation with sensationalism over substance and titillation over truth. When the phone hacking scandal engulfs Rupert Murdoch' 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 and scaremongering under the cloak of journalism.
The result is a hilariously satirical documentary: part investigative expose; part comedy caper; part cri de coeur against unaccountable press power.
