When a journalist receives a flash-drive containing critical evidence of illegal government activity, he is duty-bound to publish the story. But with the nation destabilised and divided, a sinister power is eroding the rule of law. What will be the cost of speaking out?

#WeAreArrested is the extraordinary true story of a journalist’s fight for the truth.

The editor of the country’s most esteemed national newspaper receives an astonishing piece of film footage one morning. It proves that the president is secretly smuggling weapons into a neighbouring country. The resulting uproar changes his life forever.
