In a key segment of this gut-punching, superbly edited documentary, we hear that Daniel Ellsberg's defense team made sure that few if any middle-aged people would serve on the jury to hear government charges against the man. The reason? Many, probably most of these folks had probably ignored the call of principles in order to advance their careers. Ellsberg was not of this sort. He gave up career and friends, although not family, by blowing the whistle on a whole set of lies that successive presidential administrations had been telling the people. (The government lies? What a surprise!)The Most Dangerous Man In America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers
