Based on a true story, WORDS OF WAR follows world-renowned journalist and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya (Maxine Peake) on her brave crusade, fighting to be an independent voice of truth for the Russian people, putting her own life in jeopardy despite numerous acts of intimidation and violence. While Anna was ultimately silenced, her legacy lives on and her story serves as a reminder of the dangers that journalists face and the importance of protecting their right to report the news without fear of death or reprisal.
