Daniel Ellsberg: “The Most Dangerous Man in America”
WNYC’s Leonard Lopate Show had an interview today with Daniel and Patricia Ellsberg to talk about the new documentary “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers.” The film, obviously, centers on Daniel Ellsberg’s role in leaking the Pentagon Papers to the American press to expose the lies of the U.S.’s role in the Vietnam War. The trailer looks great, as far as I can tell.
The film opens at the Film Forum on Wednesday, September 16 (tomorrow) and Daniel and Patricia Ellsberg will make special appearances at the 6:00pm and 8:00pm shows on Wednesday, September 16 and Thursday, September 17. Filmmaker Rick Goldsmith will make an appearance at 1:00pm on Friday, September 18.
