Shattered Glass

Directed by Billy Ray

With Hayden Christensen, Peter Sarsgaard, Chloë Sevigny, Rosario Dawson and Melanie Lynskey

Stephen Glass is a staff writer for the respected current events and policy magazine The New Republic and a freelance feature writer for publications such as Rolling Stone, Harper's and George. By the mid-90s, Glass' articles had turned him into one of the most sought-after young journalists in Washington, but a bizarre chain of events - chronicled in Buzz Bissinger's September 1998 Vanity Fair article - suddenly stopped his career in its tracks.
