'Who Can You Trust?' ventures into the pulse-pounding world of the onscreen thriller, a place of danger, desire and deception where you might find yourself caught in a web of political conspiracy, on the run from sinister foreign gents, living in fear of your loved ones, or even doubting your own sanity. Tracing the story of the thriller from its emergence in the silent cinema years, through the stylish twilight of film noir and the shadows of cold war espionage, to the paranoia of the 1970s and the anxieties of the new millennium, 'Who Can You Trust?' explores how the thriller has always expressed our deepest fears while keeping us gripped in nail-biting suspense.
