Tabloid is a 2010 American documentary film directed by Errol Morris. It tells the story of Joyce McKinney, who was accused of kidnapping and raping Kirk Anderson, an American Mormon missionary in England, in 1977. The incident, known as the Mormon sex in chains case, became a major tabloid story in the United Kingdom and triggered a circulation battle between two popular tabloid newspapers, the Daily Express and the Daily Mirror. For the film, Morris interviewed McKinney, former Daily Express journalist Peter Tory (1939-2012), and Daily Mirror photographer Kent Gavin, among others. The film makes reference to various aspects of Mormon culture, such as temple garments.
