middle it's. the opposite with the headlines here on al-jazeera stay tuned for the stream next thanks for watching. hi i'm a mechanic and i'm a journalist at a bureau that i think into journalism and we were in the screen. life of a guy and i'm really going to what would you do if telling the truth meant defying your government today we need the whistleblower who tried to stop the iraq war so
8:09 am
share your thoughts on the matter you can tweet us and leave your comments and i live chat and you might be in the stream as well. in the lead out to the 2003 iraq war catherine uncovered a plot by the united states to spy on the united nations the goal was to uncover information about holdout delegates on the u.n. security council in an attempt to force their support for a war guns largely overlooked story is the subject of a new film official secrets have a look. maybe you can take this country to. let me take you journey at face value. goodness you don't know if you believe this could use or. do you want to risk it all.
8:10 am
every country biggest demonstration in human history. would be. at the trial of the people when that document is long. and joining us to discuss this real life story in turkey catherine gunn the former british intelligence specialist whose acts of bravery is the basis for the film in london gentle small team bright the reports of his popish catherine. adding los angeles california gavin hood he's a filmmaker and director of official secrets welcome after he got to have so much to talk about so let's get cracking many so many facets to this conversation so i want to share one from someone who knows what they're talking about this is marcel reaches a whistleblower summit organizer and here's what she told the street. morris reid who are we used. to use now it's abusive citizens abusive parents. and
8:11 am
abuse of power who is of the people who we who are and be early on to who that man should be we who are. society's don't know and can't become more. people like us don't speak out. people like us so catherine take us back to 2003 when you got that memo did you see yourself as a whistleblower were you thinking of the ramifications of it. no not at all i mean i. i didn't join g.'s h.q. to leak anything i didn't you know i never will of ever sticking my head about of the parapet or anything but it's you know that memo had really triggered me it was . a show of duplicity it was it showed what was going on behind the scenes at a time when war is imminent and i just you know it was so important for the world to
8:12 am
know what was really going on that i have to bring it to the world's attention and and i wasn't thinking how what would happen to me at all. the guardian is the sister paper to the observer and because it's quite recent history i could look up and see that memo still online just going to go for it here and just selling it to you he was let tell it you when you 1st read it you remember what it felt like to see it. the thing about this matter is that. those of us who've been working investigative journalism a number of years are used to receiving documents are after the effect people often receive or often but. when people do receive documents they tend to be documents about things that have happened what was extraordinary about this was that i was receiving apparently a document a bias something that was ongoing you know that the war hadn't happened and we had
8:13 am
almost like a light leak this was this was. something that was showing us what was going on behind the scenes seem to be in total contradiction to what our politicians are telling us one and of course today in $21000.00 we have the benefit of hindsight i want to show this on twitter from adam jabber who says the war could have been prevented if only good people rallied and the united nations was up to its task because this war was based on past goods no weapons of mass destruction in iraq so of course we all know that now some people knew that back then the dad then what 1st attracted you to this story did you know catherine story. oh i was i was called by my producer made a film called under sky with and he said get in if you have a catherine gun and you feel like you want to know what happened so is it just google and call me back and of course that led to you know the 3 years we've spent
8:14 am
making the film i met with catherine and spent many many days with her with martin introduced me to other journalists on the story and to a very famous lawyer called bin emerson who's played by ray finds in the movie who defeated catherine and what i loved about catherine story and still pretty special is that catcher you'll forgive me if i say this so feel free to jump in but i think katherine is an ordinary person who's done an extraordinary thing cats not. someone you might generally think of as a high flying political person and she's an already person who went to her job as many of us to come to different fields and something landed only that this wasn't right and that could happen to any of us we don't have to be a spy for that as your whistle blower leader says the president said this can happen in a corporation it can happen in a studio at all for wherever and the question i think the film raises and what
8:15 am
catherine thrusts in our face like by her bravery is what would you do what would you do if you discovered something wasn't right within the organization for which she would you have the courage to say this isn't right at the risk of losing your job and cast of course to risk not it losing her job but her freedom so whatever you think politically there's no question in my mind but we're looking at a very brave woman catherine let me just show people the moment think dabbing as a director recreated when he went into work and. that's the intelligence agency in the u.k. they found out that some they don't remember how to look. someone in this building has betrayed their government and their country now i'm sure it wasn't anyone in this division but starting today internal security will be conducting
8:16 am
interviews with each and every one of you if you know anything or suspect anyone it is your sworn the d.v.d. to speak if you do not and you want fountainhead with hilde information of any kind you will be charged with a breach of the official secrets. catherine our motto in the film says it is based on actual events so we have the right in the film this is north story how to get having dot points based on actual events how to get it right. so i guess. you are. just. well i mean. he contacted oded contacted us didn't he and them and said you know what when can i meet you how do we get started on this i'd like to
8:17 am
talk to you and so they invited me to lunch and i i went and stayed for a few well where we go more on that and we talked for about 5 days and came to my staying with my family and we sat and we talked. yeah pretty much for 5 days i think wasn't and and he just said please stop from the beginning and have this massive lead the book and he just kept writing and writing and writing page on page in. i was impressed martin. majestic gave up with a information but he did that we gathered how to how did he get the extract the truth out of it. the whole point about this. whole process is that we talking about the sanctity of trees. what we were trying to do and we breaking the story was find out what happened and
8:18 am
told those politicians to account. so for me when this is being made into a hollywood movie it was extremely important to stick to the facts because when it when it comes to release we are inevitably going to be held to account ourselves for the way that we told the story so i was i have to say huge relief that when i met got him and he shared my determination to tell the story as it was and you have to realize that this this isn't a conventional hollywood narrative there isn't a single journalistic hero that runs through this is very much a collaborative effort. and also we as journalists as happens hounded over the joke we handed the bottle over to the lawyers a crucial part of the film as well so all this was extremely important and i
8:19 am
was but i know it's a gaffe and he was prepared to fight for that version of the narrative because i can imagine there were other people pressuring to tell you in a completely different way right so i don't mean to jump in but i just want to say thank you to martin kasem because i'm as a filmmaker you know here they are backing the movie thank you thank goodness because when you go to all this trouble and you tell your story about people who are still very much alive you can clearly see your great fear is that you will finish the film and they will say that's not right and that's the end of your move so it was important quite seriously to get the information from this source from these folks who were directly involved.
