Over 200 students attended the department’s spring installment of the Political Science Film Series in the Alkek Teaching Theater auditorium on Wednesday March 21st. The event showcased the 2009 Academy Award nominated documentary, “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers.” The documentary examined Daniel Ellsberg’s role in collecting information on the progress of the Vietnam War, the smuggling of secret documents from the Rand Corporation and the long protracted federal trials that not only put him in peril, but became a symbol for freedom of the press in America.
