A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one chance to make amends... It’s the summer of 1983, <i>The Witches</i> is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won’t die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.</div><div><br></div><div>Inspired by real events, <i>GIANT</i> explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric offering a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon.</div>PT2H16M152026-11-19GBen
