Film: The Insider
Starring Al Pacino, Russell Crowe, Christopher Plummer and Michael Gambon

Special film screening in the spectacular setting of Hall 1 of the Sage: The Insider
7.30pm Day 1 (26th June) - 157minutes

The Insider

Classic film documenting the stand taken by Jeffrey Wigand, a former chief scientist at Brown & Williamson Tobacco and the efforts of the tobaccco industry to silence him. Starring Al Pacino as Lowell Bergman, the 60 Minutes producer who exposes the story, Russell Crowe (as Wigand), Christopher Plummer and Michael Gambon.

A real antidote to most based-on-a-true-story films, this is a fascinating, compelling film. A must see for everyone in the smoking cessation field.
