Please watch, share and comment! This is the acclaimed documentary on Daniel Ellsberg, the whistleblower who leaked the Pentagon Papers. The good folks at the Zinn Education Project put together a teaching guide, available here: zinnedproject.org/materials/the-most-dangerous-man-in-america-teaching-guide/ Direct link to the guide here: mostdangerousman.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MDM.teachingguide.final_.pdf "In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, a high-level Pentagon official and Vietnam War strategist, realized that the war was based on decades of lies and leaked 7,000 pages of top secret documents to the New York Times, making headlines around the world. Hailed as a hero, vilified as a traitor, and ostracized by even his closest colleagues, Ellsberg risked life in prison to stop a war he helped plan. "This riveting story of one man’s profound change of heart is also a piercing look at the world of government secrecy as revealed by the ultimate insider. This political thriller unravels a saga that leads directly to Watergate, Nixon’s resignation, and the end of the Vietnam War."
