Storyline

Gunter Wallraff is a journalist seeking to expose the unethical journalism practiced by The Standard, a very popular and powerful German newspaper. He goes undercover, using forged identity papers and at great personal risk, to join their staff.

Crazy Credits

Before the credits there is the following:
'LEAD STORY', Wallraff's expose of 'The Daily Standard', has become
a best seller in Germany and throughout Western Europe. The Standard's
readership dropped off 17% after the book's release, and the paper
has been plagued by student demonstrations and lawsuits from its
victims. However, nine million Germans still read it daily.
In a subsequent ruling, the court prohibited Wallraff from mentioning
any link between 'The Standard' and German State Security.
The German League of Industrialists implemented a security program
at all its major facilities to guard against future infiltration.
Gunter Wallraff is currently working on a new project...somewhere
