Oscar-Nominated Film: The Most Dangerous Man In America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers January 6, 2011

When, in 1971, Daniel Ellsberg leaked a secret Pentagon history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam to the press, it set off shockwaves. A gifted and intelligent man who wrestled personally and professionally with the contradictions between American ideals and American power in Southeast Asia, Ellsberg himself dramatically embodied the country's division over the war. Nominated for a 2010 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, 'The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers' is a comprehensive look at the release of the Pentagon Papers and the political firestorm that sealed Americans' disenchantment with the Vietnam War and the fate of the Nixon Administration.
