Plot summary

World-renowned journalist and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya went from being a local print journalist to braving the Chechen killing fields and exposing Russian state corruption under Vladimir Putin. She refused to give up reporting on the war in Chechnya despite numerous acts of intimidation and violence, including being poisoned. She was ultimately murdered in the elevator of her block of flats and it remains unclear who paid for the contract killing.

"Words of War" is not just a film-it's a call to conscience

"Words of War" is a powerful, urgent tribute to the frontline storytellers who risk-and too often lose-their lives in pursuit of truth. With an incredible cast that delivers deeply human, emotionally resonant performances, this film doesn't just depict the dangers journalists face-it demands we pay attention to the growing threats against them. In a world where authoritarianism tightens its grip and disinformation spreads like wildfire, stories like this are more vital than ever. We need more films that bear witness, that refuse to let silence win. "Words of War" is not just a film-it's a call to conscience.

Must see film

War of Words (2025) is a gripping, thought-provoking film that explores the power, beauty, and danger of language. With sharp dialogue, intense performances, and masterful direction, it captures how words can heal or divide. The story unfolds with tension and emotion, drawing viewers deep into themes of conflict, misunderstanding, and redemption. Visually stunning and emotionally resonant, it challenges audiences to reflect on how we communicate and connect. A bold, unforgettable cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll. Every moment feels relevant and profoundly human........

Powerful Story

The story of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya played by Maxine Peake, will leave you changed. Premiering the day before the UN's Press Freedom Day, the film takes you on a realistic journey alongside Politkovskaya as she risks everything to cover the second Chechen War.Politkovskaya was murdered in 2006 for reporting on Russian war crimes and atrocities in Chechnya.The film was shot beautifully with deliberate drone sequences and perfectly lit scenes that gave broad perspective to the narrative.A very strong cast including Jason Isaacs, and Ciaran Hinds grab you with their emotionally charged scenes.While this story occurred almost 20 years ago it remains unfortunately relevant today. The end of the film is strikingly poignant when the screen is filled with picture of the many journalists killed while pursuing the truth.Beautifully directed, this film will stay with you.
