"An exciting cloak-and-dagger thriller."—Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Daniel Ellsberg was the first insider to take his concerns outside. The results changed the course of a country."—Bill Gibron, Pop Matters

This acclaimed documentary provides insight into the actions of Daniel Ellsberg, a leading American military strategist who leaked the Pentagon Papers, a massive top-secret document that pointed to government deception about the Vietnam War. The film looks at Ellsberg himself and at the repercussions of his surprising revelations, which led to a media circus and ultimately contributed to end of both the Vietnam conflict and the presidency of Richard Nixon.
