DESCRIPTION:Come see The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the 
 Pentagon Papers (2009, 92 min.) on Saturday, 6/13/15 at 8:00.\n\n"The Most 
 Dangerous Man in America" is the story of what happens when a\nformer 
 Pentagon insider, armed only with his conscience, steadfast\ndetermination, 
 and a file cabinet full of classified documents, decides\nto challenge an 
 "Imperial" Presidency-answerable to neither Congress,\nthe press, nor the 
 people-in order to help end the Vietnam War. In 1971,\nDaniel Ellsberg 
 shook America to its foundations when he smuggled a\ntop-secret Pentagon 
 study to the New York Times that showed how five\nPresidents consistently 
 lied to the American people about the Vietnam\nWar that was killing 
 millions and tearing America apart. President\nNixon's National Security 
 Advisor Henry Kissinger called Ellsberg "the\nmost dangerous man in 
 America," who "had to be stopped at all costs."\nBut Ellsberg wasn't 
 stopped. Facing 115 years in prison on espionage and\nconspiracy charges, 
 he fought back. Ensuing events surrounding the\nso-called Pentagon Papers 
 led directly to Watergate and the downfall of\nPresident Nixon, and 
 hastened the end of the Vietnam War. Ellsberg's\nrelentless telling of 
 truth to power, which exposed the secret deeds of\nan "Imperial 
 Presidency," inspired Americans of all walks of life to\nforever question 
 the previously-unchallenged pronouncements of its\nleaders. "The Most 
 Dangerous Man in America" tells the inside story, for\nthe first time on 
 film, of this pivotal event that changed history and\ntransformed our 
 nation's political discourse. It is told largely by the\nplayers of that 
 dramatic episode-Ellsberg, his colleagues, family and\ncritics; Pentagon 
 Papers authors and government officials; Vietnam\nveterans and anti-war 
 activists; Watergate principals, attorneys and the\njournalists who both 
 covered the story and were an integral part of it;\nand finally-through 
 White House audiotapes-President Nixon and his inner\ncircle of 
 advisers.\n\nThis will be shown at the Quaker Meetinghouse, 225 Rooney 
 Street, Santa\nCruz. Admission cost is free, with donations accepted to 
 help cover rent\nand other costs.\n\nYou can help publicize by posting this
