If it weren't true, Daniel Ellsberg's journey from US Marine to upper-echelon Defense Department and Rand Corporation analyst to Vietnam War whistleblower would be the stuff of heroic fiction. His defining act—leaking the government's classified history of the conflict in Southeast Asia, popularly known as the Pentagon Papers, to the press—remains a landmark in the annals of personal conscience, national security and press freedom. Masterfully weaving new interviews with Ellsberg and other key figures with fascinating, sometimes shocking archival material, veteran documentarians Judith Ehrlich and Rick Goldsmith craft a political thriller on a par with All the President's Men, while implicitly contrasting the principled stand taken by Ellsberg and newspapers in 1971 with the media's shameful performance in the run-up to 2003's Iraq invasion. Reclaiming Ellsberg's story for our own day, this inspiring film reminds us how democracy relies on our potentially "dangerous" men and women in and out of government. US Premiere. —Michael Fox
