"Truth" movie

Last week I had an opportunity to watch movie about the journalistic work "Truth" with Kate Blanshet, Robert Renford and other prominent actors in its cast. To cut it short, the plot tells a story of a group of journalists investigating US president George Bush's past in military service when he was young. Later in movie are shown different aspects of journalistic inquiries, their struggles and problems they face either from colleagues or political institutions.

Although film was rather of some psychological kind, I was trilled during watching it to find out how the events would work out in the ending. Asking questions and making inquiries are the largest part of a journalistic profession and it was intriguing to see how characters do it and which answers they get. In my own opinion,  it is a hard process of collecting answers when it comes to powerful and influential politicians.  In such cases people tend to stay silent since they may feel afraid of consequences they or their close ones might face afterwards if they do otherwise. We could not blame them for caring about their welfare and families.  But how, on the other hand, our societies will be able to maintain democracy and prevent tyranny from emerging in our countries? 

And again we see that courage of journalists plays its crucial role in conducting investigations no matter how harmful it might be for their careers in a future.  A real journalist should not only be clever and curious but also to have courage in order to go further in his search of information. It can be hard, it can take multiple efforts but the reward for not giving up in tough moments will be the reveal of … Truth.
