MDM wins Special Jury Award at IDFA 2009!

After being invited to IDFA’s Central Pitch last year, we were honored to return with our film in the main competition and win the Special Jury Award this year.

The jury awarded the special jury prize to this documentary for its comprehensive chronicle of one man’s battle to end the war in Vietnam. This portrait of Daniel Ellsberg is important in every sense and particularly now, inspirational. It is a work of the highest craft and execution, that tells a riveting story while underscoring the lasting significance of Ellsberg’s most timely subversion.
