"GiroCity" is written and directed by ex-TV current affairs producer Karl Francis.  Shot in six weeks for a mere £400,000  it is a fluent, provocative ,  finely acted exposé-cum-thriller, that throws harsh light on the behind-the-scenes  power struggles which may distort and suppress factual information on  its way to  your TV screen.  (Sunday Express)

It's a gritty, intelligent film, with a quiet but effective performance by Glenda Jackson.  (Sunday Mirror))
