“Can you keep a national secret?”
A reporter becomes the target of a vicious smear campaign that drives him to the point of suicide after he exposes the CIA's role in arming Contra rebels in Nicaragua and importing cocaine into California. Based on the true story of journalist Gary Webb.
This is a taut, propulsive descent into the chilling world of government secrets and the immense personal cost of exposing them. It feels like a relentless, paranoid pursuit of truth against overwhelming odds, leaving you with a sense of urgent dread and simmering anger at systemic injustice.
