MUMBAI: Don't believe everything you read... Read between the lies!
This Friday, watch the exclusive premiere of a thought-provoking
thriller about honesty and integrity in news reporting. Watch Shattered
Glass, which is a story of a very talented and at the same time
very, flawed character.
It is also a look inside one of the noblest professions, one that
protects our
most precious freedoms by revealing the truth, and what happens
when our trust in that profession is called int question. Tune in
to the exclusiv premiere this Friday night, November 17th at 9 p.m.
only on Star Movies.
This film tells the true story of fraudulent Washington, D.C. journalist
Stephen Glass (Hayden Christensen), who rose to meteoric heights
as a young writer in his 20s, becoming a staff writer at "The
New Republic" for three years (1995-1998), where 27 of his
41 published stories were either partially or completely made up.
Glass' articles had turned him into one of the most sought-after
young journalists in Washington, but a bizarre chain of events -
chronicled in Buzz Bissinger's September, 1998 Vanity Fair article
upon which "Shattered Glass" is based - suddenly stopped
his career in its tracks.
Looking for a short cut to fame, Glass concocted sources, quotes
and even entire stories, but his deception did not go unnoticed
forever, and eventually, his world came crumbling down...
