Overview
The story of Daniel Jones, lead investigator for the US Senate’s sweeping study into the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program, which was found to be brutal, immoral and ineffective. With the truth at stake, Jones battled tirelessly to make public what many in power sought to keep hidden.
This film is pretty much what you’d expect – it will scare the hell out of you because of how people in power act and the acting is fantastic. Adam Driver really has an amazing run of films going now (including the incredibly unseen Paterson). It’s a good watch – hopefully people will give it a chance because of the acting and the story because the story matters a lot. Time and time again we justify behavior and policy under the guise of safety.
