Documentary

"The Most Dangerous Man in America" is the story of what happens when a former Pentagon insider, armed only with his conscience, steadfast determination, and a file cabinet full of classified documents, decides to challenge an "Imperial" Presidency-answerable to neither Congress, the press, nor the people-in order to help end the Vietnam War.

VIBE

A gripping, real-life thriller that feels like a political procedural. It’s a tense, urgent dive into the courage it takes to expose government secrets, making you question authority and believe in the power of one person's conviction.
