Most Dangerous Man In America – Official Film Site

The Pentagon Papers matter today for so many reasons. We see the impact that an individual can have on society, the importance of the whistleblower, the role of dissent. The drama of the Pentagon Papers is a great entry point to this time period (for students AND adults!) I think the Pentagon Papers really illustrate the fact that our paths are not set in stone if we have the courage to act upon our convictions. Ellsberg can be a powerful role model for students who feel like they have little control over their path.
