Iraq has got weapons of mass destruction. That is not something we think. We know it!’ Danish Prime Minister - Anders Fogh Rasmussen, 21. March 2003 (current general secretary of NATO)

A film about Denmark’s most well know and debated “whistleblower” - former Military Intelligence Officer Frank Grevil and his 14-year-old daughter.

In 2004 Frank leaked confidential rapports regarding information on how The Military Intelligence estimated the possibilities of Iraq being in possession of weapons of mass destruction.

Frank, a widower and father of a teenage daughter is now facing a prison sentence due to his actions. How will they cope? And what was his real motive?

This film is not currently online :(

But no worries. There are more just like it in our new programme.
