Cast
Sharon Lawrence
Emmy Award-winning actor Sharon Lawrence gives a tour-de-force performance in THE SHOT, inspired by the true story of Katherine Graham who was the most powerful woman in journalism. Long before she defied the US government by publishing the Pentagon Papers and exposing the Watergate scandal, Graham began an unexpected journey through doubt, abuse, male-dominated tradition, and resistance - emerging as an emblem of power and a defining voice in American media.
