The Hack Show Summary

Investigative journalist Nick Davies receives an anonymous tip off about phone hacking at the News of the World. As he follows the trail, he discovers damning evidence that proves that phone hacking at the paper was not the work of 'one rogue reporter', as has been claimed for years but was, in fact, endemic. Nick and his long-time editor and friend Alan Rusbridger must now decide to risk their careers and their newspaper to go up against one of the most powerful media organisations in the world.
