Valerie Plame's position as an undercover CIA agent was revealed by the White House to blackmail her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson. In 2003, Wilson wrote an article in the New York Times claiming that the Bush administration was manipulating information to justify the invasion of Iraq. The Bush administration therefore leaked her name to Robert Novak, who in her regular column in The Washington Post revealed her and thus put an end to her career. The film is based on a true story and is a reunion with the lamentable Bush era, a time we would rather forget, where the White House lied and manipulated themselves into a war that they had no desire to avoid.
