Top Secret (2008 edition)

“A cantankerous press must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve…the right of the People to know.” With these words, a Federal judge hands a momentous victory to the American press in 1971. When the Washington Post decides to publish the infamous Pentagon Papers detailing U.S. involvement in Vietnam, the Nixon Administration will stop at nothing to suppress it. In the tradition of THE GREAT TENNESSEE MONKEY TRIAL, this riveting docudrama follows the intrepid Post reporters as they struggle to balance free speech and national security.
