Scope and content
In 1971, CIA analyst Daniel Ellsberg shook America to its foundations when he smuggled a top-secret Pentagon study to the New York Times, which showed how president Nixon had consistently lied to the American people about the Vietnam War. Henry Kissinger called Ellsberg “the most dangerous man in America” who “had to be stopped at all costs.” But Ellsberg wasn't stopped, he fought back. Facing 115 years in prison, he continued speaking the truth and ensuing events surrounding the so-called Pentagon Papers led directly to Watergate and the downfall of President Nixon, and hastened the end of the Vietnam War.

Archivist's note
Co-winner of this year's Freedom of Expression Award from the National Board of Review (and one of their Five Best Documentaries of the Year), Winner of the Special Jury Award at IDFA, and in contention for the year's Best Documentary Oscar, The Most Dangerous Man in America tells the story of Daniel Ellsberg, a high-level Pentagon official and Vietnam War strategist, who in 1971 concluded that the war is based on decades of lies and leaks 7,000 pages of top secret documents to The New York Times, making headlines around the world. A riveting story of how this one man's profound change of heart created a landmark struggle involving America's newspapers, its president and Supreme Court. With Daniel Ellsberg, Patricia Ellsberg, Tony Russo, Howard Zinn, Hedrick Smith, John Dean, and, from the secret White House tapes, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, who called Ellsberg “the most dangerous man in America.”
