The Most Dangerous Man in America (2009)
En 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, un brillant analyste employé comme consultant par le Pentagone, fait parvenir au New York Times un dossier sur la guerre du Vietnam classé secret défense. Ce document de 7000 pages révèle les mensonges d’Etat sur cette guerre. Daniel Ellsberg devient alors l’homme le plus recherché en Amérique. Henry Kissinger, alors conseiller de Nixon à la Défense nationale, le baptise “l’homme le plus dangereux des Etats-Unis”. Richard Nixon le qualifie lui de “fils de pute”. Daniel Ellsberg sera poursuivi pour vol, conspiration et espionnage.
Directeurs: Judith Ehrlich, Rick Goldsmith.
