The Post (2017)


Released January 12 , 2018 in the US.
Filmed in New York and Washington DC.
Based on truths.
The story : In 1966 , Dan Ellsberg who was working as a military analyst went to Vietnam to see what was going on.
What he saw wasn't good.
When asked if he thought the war was getting better or worse , he said there was no change he could see but the government reported that we were making progress.
The cover up and lies pushed Ellsberg to steal government documents and make copies of them....
Fast forward to 1971.
When The Washington Post is looking for a big story to make the newspaper better and a competitor , people behind the paper get a hold of Ellsberg.
The newspaper is determined to make the governments plans public , as they all believe the world has the right to know the truth.
