I knew a bit about the Pentagon Papers but this documentary definitely helped me fill in some gaps. The interviews with Ellsberg are fascinating to watch.As I watched this, all I kept thinking about was how much one of my favorite history teachers, Mrs. Dixon at Springbrook High, would have loved this movie. She became utterly breathless with excitement when teaching this stuff as well as Watergate. I wonder what Mrs. Dixon is up to these days.
