It takes a lifetime to build a career with integrity and a single tweet to unravel it.
Anna Kay, top-rating television journalist, mother and wife is now a news subject herself, and the haters are piling on. Her decision to leave a loveless marriage and pursue an affair with a recent source incites the wrath of the masses and threatens her credibility, all as she prepares to break the biggest story of her career. Truth at all costs, but who gets to set the price?
Inspired by Anna Karenina, Suzie Miller's Anna K is an urgent, timely and deeply moving investigation of what happens when a woman dares to defy society and live her own truth in the age of cancel culture.
