- Synopsis:
- This drama tells the story of Dr. David Kelly (Mark Rylance), a scientist caught between the government and the BBC over the war in Iraq. David Kelly was one of the government's foremost experts on Weapons of Mass Destruction. The drama depicts Dr. Kelly's time as a United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq in the 1990s and through the frenetic weeks and months in which the Blair government attempted to persuade a doubting nation of its case for war. The drama charts David Kelly's own journey from behind-the-scenes expert to man exposed to a media onslaught as he himself became a weapon deployed by all sides in their respective battles for survival.
