Scoop

In a case of mistaken identity, mild-mannered wildlife writer William Boot (Michael Maloney - Love on a Branch Line, Truly Madly Deeply) is sent as a foreign correspondent to the fictional East African country of Ishmaelia on the eve of a war. Boot flounders through a sea of wild rumours and a horde of sleazy reporters desperate for a story - any story. If he thinks things are thought now, wait until he stumbles onto something journalists work for all their lives! (official distributor synopsis)
