Kill the Messenger (2014)
KrimiDramaMysteryThrillerHistorie
Durch Zufall stößt der Journalist Gary Webb in den 1990er Jahren auf Verstrickungen von CIA mit mittelamerikanischen Drogenkartellen. Durch Kokainverkauf in den Straßen von South Central L.A. wurden die Contras in Nicaragua finanziert. Seine brisanten Enthüllungen in den San Jose Mercury News lösen ein politisches Erdbeben aus. Die CIA schlägt mit Verleumdungen zurück und auch Kollegen renommierter Medien diffamieren den Autor, der nicht nur um Ansehen, Job und Familie kämpfen muss, sondern auch um sein Leben.
