Der gefährlichste Mann in Amerika (2009)
Im Jahr 1971 befinden sich die USA im Würgegriff des Vietnamkrieges. Daniel Ellsberg, einer der national führenden Kriegsplaner, spielt der New York Times Dokumente zu, die auf 7.000 streng geheimen Seiten die Wahrheit über diesen schmutzigen Krieg enthalten. Ellsberg riskiert, lebenslänglich ins Gefängnis zu kommen. Doch sein Ziel ist es, einen mörderischen, zum Teil auf Lügen basierenden Krieg zu beenden, den er selbst mitgeplant hat. Der Dokumentarfilm erzählt eine Geschichte, die seinerzeit die Welt in Atem hielt.
Die Regisseur: Judith Ehrlich, Rick Goldsmith.
