Some time ago, I began to feel the personal human digression on Rachel Armstrong. And I told her that I was there to represent her and not her principle. And it was not until I met her that I realized that with great people there's no difference between principle and the person. I know you can't tell me who your source is. I respect that, okay? I know about keeping secrets. Sometimes a mistake is like wearing white after Labour Day, and sometimes a mistake is invading Russia in winter!

Nothing But the Truth

A man can live a good life, be honorable, give to charity, but in the end, the number of people who come to his funeral is generally dependent on the weather. It was scheduled to open in New York City and Los Angeles on December 19, but because distributor Yari Film Group filed for Chapter 11 protection, it was never given a theatrical release.

When she discovers a fellow mother at her son's school, Erica Van Doren Vera Farmiga is working as a covert operative for the CIA and recently returned from Venezuela , where she was investigating an assassination attempt on the President of the United States , she confronts her and requests confirmation. Erica refuses to cooperate, but Rachel has no doubts about the veracity of the report, and her story becomes front-page news with the support of editor Bonnie Benjamin Angela Bassett and Avril Aaronson Noah Wyle , who serves as the newspaper's legal counselor.

Because revealing a covert operative's identity is a treasonous offence and because the individual who leaked the information to Rachel is a potential threat to national security, special Federal prosecutor Patton Dubois Matt Dillon convenes a grand jury and demands to know who her source is, information she refuses to divulge. High-profile attorney Albert Burnside Alan Alda , hired by the newspaper to defend Rachel, is certain his personal friendship with Judge Hall will facilitate matters and is shocked when his client is jailed for contempt of court.

Days become weeks, and then months, during the course of which Van Doren is murdered in a politically motivated attack. Yet Rachel steadfastly defends the principle of confidentiality , a position that eventually estranges her husband Ray David Schwimmer , alienates her young son Timmy Preston Bailey , and costs her embattled newspaper millions of dollars in fines and legal fees. However, Dubois is only interested in Armstrong's original source. Armstrong pleads to Dubois that she could never give up her source as they would have to deal with the consequential ramifications of the death of Van Doren.

Burnside even argues her case before the Supreme Court, but they decide against him 5—4, citing the overriding concern of national security. Eventually, Judge Hall decides to release Armstrong from jail, as he is convinced she will never divulge her source and, therefore, cannot be pressured through continued incarceration. On the day she is released, Dubois has the U.

Marshals arrest her for obstruction of justice and convinces her to take a deal for a shortened sentence rather than go to trial. She agrees to two years in prison, with the possibility of early parole for good behavior. As Armstrong is taken to the facility, she reminisces about her time as a volunteer at Timmy's school, and when she spoke to Van Doren's daughter, Alison, who revealed to her on a school field trip that her mother worked for the government and recently went to Venezuela on "business", thus revealing Alison as the original source. The film received its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, , with the cast in attendance.
