I was pleased at how honest the key charcters were in sticking to the powerful truth of the story. We would all do well to watch this and remember the blatant arogance of those who pursue power. There are 2 Ellsberg videos, this is the hollywood drama version. Ellsberg found secret pentagon studies from years earlier showing the war could not be won. Every president knew the war was a farce and kept it going. Movie accurately portrays why and how Ellsberg leaked the secret papers. Equally important was the brazen legal battle fought by big newspapers to publish the papers. I watched documentary version first (The Most Dangerous Man In America). We should call it treason to lie about election campaign promises! The movie points out Vietnam war crimes of treason against Congress and the public. Movie dramatically shows how the military and the administration (Nixon) tried to stop the newspapers from printing leaked secrets about the war. See for yourself what happened when Vietnam war secrets were leaked; see loyalty and security used to keep secrets from us and Congress. Video shows how the newsmedia did not back down, published the secrets, and won a Supreme Court Case supporting their right to publish the secrets. Supreme court agreed: public has right to know, press is free, free press has a role informing the public & keeping government honest, and the published secrets should not have been secret because they are public business.
