Reality

Synopsis:
Ali Muriel's Reality takes us into the world of conspiracy theories, the idea that it is the deliberate policy of a branch of the British government to create fear within the population. Jeremy Gates (James Howard), a university professor, uncovers a raft of evidence which tends to show this but he has a history of mental illness. He writes letters to the Prime Minister, even the Queen, to no avail and so tries to force his way into Thames House, the home of MI5, and so finds himself arrested and facing interrogation by a police office, a detective chief inspector (James Traherne).
