A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents and pushed the country's first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between journalist and government has inspired this film. Katharine Graham was the first female publisher of a major American newspaper, The Washington Post. With help from Editor Ben Bradlee, they expose a massive cover-up of government secrets. Described as a Hollywood all-star team’s riposte to Donald Trump, The Post dramatises the Washington Post’s publication of the classified Pentagon Papers, which exposed government lies about the Vietnam war.
