Cate Blanchett stars in Veronica Guerin, the critically acclaimed, powerful and poignant true story about a journalist who risked her life in search of the truth. In the mid-1990s, Dublin was nothing short of a war zone, with a few powerful drug lords battling for control. Their most fearsome opponent was not the police but the courageous Veronica Guerin (Blanchett), who investigated and exposed the "pushers," balancing her home and family against her responsibility to her readers and her country. Because of her intense efforts, she became a national folk heroine and changed Ireland forever.
