In this trailer for Red Joan, the authorities knock on the door of a frail, elderly woman's (Judi Dench) home. She's told she's being charged with 27 breaches of the Official Secrets Act. They take her away for questioning, but she insists she hasn't done anything wrong. However, the authorities have files from when she was a student at Cambridge. They say she was known for consorting with Communists, but she denies ever being a member. She gets a lawyer and is released home, complete with an ankle monitor, but the questioning is far from over. We go back in time to her days in school and her possible involvement with the Russians.
