Daniel Ellsberg and the Birth of an Oscar-Nominated Doc
February, 03, 2010 3:59 pm | Comments On #Daniel Ellsberg, documentary, Movies, The Most Dangerous Man in AmericaThe year, 2005: The United States was involved in two wars. We had been lied into at least one of them (Iraq) by our president. The other war (Afghanistan) was already 4 years old, and there was no end in sight. The relevance of Dan Ellsberg's story with the Pentagon Papers, risking life in prison to stop a war he helped plan, was unmistakable.
We both knew Dan, who had appeared in Rick’s Oscar-nominated "Tell the Truth and Run: George Seldes and the American Press." Judith's first encounter with Dan was as an adviser on her ITVS film "The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight It," on conscientious objectors in World War II.Description
