THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers

by Rick Goldsmith and Judith Ehrlich (92 min) 2009

Nominated for a 2010 Academy Award as Best Documentary Feature, this important film has won numerous other awards. It is especially relevant in this era of wikileaks.

Daniel Ellsberg narrates his own true story in “The Most Dangerous Man in America”. In 1971 he was a leading Pentagon Vietnam War strategist who concluded the war was based on decades of lies. He leaked 7,000 pages of top-secret documents to The New York Times, a daring act of conscience that lead directly to Watergate, President Nixon’s resignation and the end of the Vietnam War.

“Detailed, clearly told, persuasive” – The New York Times

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
