The Most Dangerous Man In America will be at the Nyack Center at 8p on Wednesday, 10/6.

Rivertown Film presents the gripping story of Daniel Ellsberg, the Pentagon analyst who risked life in prison for leaking classified documents in 1971 about the war in Vietnam. It’s a revealing story about the secret history and government lies behind the war and how Ellsberg’s whistle blowing shook the nation.

After the showing, moviegoers are invited to stay for a POST-FILM Q&A WITH ROBERT ELLSBERG. As a young teen Robert helped his father photocopy the Pentagon Papers. He was later subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury. Stay in your seats after the screening for a discussion of Robert’s experience and recollections about this extraordinary moment in American history.

The The Most Dangerous Man In America is a 2010 Academy Award Nominee
