aka: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers
USA 2009, 94 minutes
Dir. Rick Goldsmith, Judith Ehrlich
Rating: [M]
Genres: Documentary

Topics: Politics, Media, Period 1970s.

 

Aroview: Galvanizing portrait of whistle blower Daniel Ellsberg, a former military analyst and aide to Robert McNamara who leaked classified Pentagon papers in the face of fierce anti-Vietnam war sentiment and his own guilt-ridden conscience.

Yet another astute and gripping documentary that illuminates the darker shades of the political machine, this also broaches hot-topic issues around foreign policy and freedom of the press, with the turbulent history of the 70s given present-day relevance vis-a-vis America's ongoing involvement in the Middle East.
