Episode description
Welcome to The Call Sheet – the latest News Club series. This time, we’re turning the spotlight on the people behind what we watch, listen, and stream - the people shaping Aussie entertainment. Kicking things off is journalist Peter Greste, whose real-life story has just hit the big screen. The Correspondent is based on his book and follows his arrest and imprisonment in Egypt back in 2013. Peter talks about his harrowing story, seeing that chapter of his life brought to life on film, and what it was like being portrayed by Richard Roxburgh.
