- Synopsis:
- Rag Tale is the scandalously funny satire of the tabloid newspaper industry that caused an uproar on its theatrical release in 2005. Chronicling a week in the life of a tabloid newspaper it focuses on its tyrannical chairman and obsequious editor's (who's also sleeping with the chairman's wife) battle for political supremacy, using staff journalists as pawns in the power games they play out in the pages of the press. As the affair is discovered and the editor's job falls under threat, the staff must rally together to do battle with the ruthless chairman pulling every scandal monger's trick in the book to protect their editor.
