About A Most Public Affair
A re-creation of some of the confrontations and sketches in the remarkable background of the Windscale Enquiry. The dialogue is taken from the Official Verbatim Transcript of Proceedings. It was filmed on location in the Lake District and at Whitehaven Civic Hall where the Enquiry took place.
Directed by Michael Latham, A Most Public Affair leans on a strong ensemble — Frank Gillard, John Gabriel, Peter Cellier — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1978.
