One Rogue Reporter is a 2014 satirical documentary directed by Rich Peppiatt and Tom Jenkinson and starring Hugh Grant, Steve Coogan and Owen Jones, among others.
The film follows the real-life story of Peppiatt as he quits his job as a tabloid newspaper reporter over ethical concerns, leaking his caustic resignation letter to The Guardian . After giving evidence to the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics, Peppiatt decides to conduct a number of comedy stunts on prominent UK media figures, such as editor of MailOnline Martin Clarke, Hugh Whittow of the Daily Express , Paul Dacre of the Daily Mail , Neville Thurlbeck and former editor of The Sun , Kelvin Mackenzie.
The film premiered at the Sheffield Doc/Fest in 2014. [1]
The documentary evolved from a stand-up comedy show, also called One Rogue Reporter, that Peppiatt performed at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe which he then toured the UK.
The film had its UK theatrical release on 7 November 2014 [2] and was released digitally worldwide on 9 December 2014 by US based distributor FilmBuff. It was reviewed by a variety of different outlets, including The Independent [3] and Little White Lies (magazine). [4] On 12 January 2015 the film was nominated for Best Independent Feature at the National Film Awards. [5]
