THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA AND THE POST

The Most Dangerous Man in America is an Oscar-nominated film about Daniel
Ellsberg and the top-secret Pentagon Papers. The 2009 documentary focuses on the
events when the top-secret military history of America involved in the Vietnam
War was exposed. This is a riveting story of one man’s change of heart who risks
his life to stop a war he helped plan. At that time, the film garnered huge
acclaim for conveying a wealth of information with complete clarity.



Steven Spielberg’s The Post takes the same story forward, headlined by another
man. It follows the story of Washington Post journalists who published those
scandalous papers. The movie cast Tom Hanks as editor Ben Bradlee, Meryl Streep
as publisher Katharine Graham, and Matthew Rhys as Ellsberg.


THE REPORT

The Report is an American political drama film written and directed by Scott Z.
Burns and released in 2019. The movie depicts Adam Driver as Senate staffer
Daniel J. Jones, who directed an investigation on the CIA’s methods of torture
following the September 11th attacks. Moreover, it also covers the decade-long
secrets that remained hidden from the American public.




OFFICIAL SECRETS

Official Secrets narrates the real-life tale of a lesser-known but vigorous
whistleblower story starring Keira Knightley. Based on the life of a British
government employee named Katharine Gun who is charged with exposing an illegal
spying operation between America and Britain. Like other films, this is not a
historic event but a reality that we still are living in starting from 2003.
Actors who joined Knightley for this project include Matt Smith, Matthew Goode,
Ralph Fiennes, Adam Bakri, and Indira Varma.
