How to Sell a War

Synopsis

Peggy, a naïve but ambitious young woman with a marked physical disability, gets thrown into the deep end when she starts her new career in PR at a high-profile company, under the supervision of her aunt. Through an innocent misunderstanding on her first day in the office, Peggy ends up becoming indispensable in a highly sensitive case – the Governor of Svaneti, in Georgia, needs to fabricate a humanitarian crisis in order to get NATO backing in his fight to halt Russian annexation. He needs a moral imperative to start a real war, and swing Western public opinion in his favour in order to get British soldiers on the ground.
