The Most Dangerous Man isn't a gangster or a terrorist, but rather he is a whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg. A whistleblower is someone who tells the truth about another's illegal behavior. In this instance Mr. Ellsberg worked for a military contractor, Rand Corporation. This business was responsible for a study of the Vietnam War, which concluded in 7,000 pages that president after president was told that the war in Vietnam was unwinnable, but each one of them continued to send thousands of troops and spend billions of dollars to keep communism from spreading. Mr. Ellsberg was so horrified by what he read that he leaked the whole study to The New York Times. Once you watch the film, answer the questions below in a discussion post.
