In 1983, Roald Dahl faces backlash over his antisemitic review of "God Cried" about West Beirut's siege during the 1982 Lebanon War. As he prepares "The Witches" for publication, he must choose: apologize or defend his words.

A world-famous children’s author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one chance to make amends...

It’s the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits.

But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won’t die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.

Inspired by real events, GIANT explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric offering a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon.
