Description

In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, a leading Vietnam War strategist, concludes the war is based on decades of lies. He leaks 7,000 pages of top-secret documents to The New York Times, a daring act of conscience that led directly to Watergate, President Nixon’s resignation and the end of the Vietnam War. President Nixon's National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger called Ellsberg "the most dangerous man in America", who "had to be stopped at all costs." But Ellsberg wasn't stopped facing 115 years in prison on espionage and conspiracy charges...
