Your must-watch movie list needs to
include "Kill the Messenger". The movie is based on the true story of
the famous Pulitzer journalist: Gary Webb, a veteran journalist who has devoted
his life to The San Jose Mercury-News newspaper.
In the 90s, Webb discovered a
secret: The CIA has imported cocaine into California for sale, earning money to
raise insurgents against the Nicaragua government. Despite warnings from drug dealers
and even CIA agents, Webb still dug deeper and exposed the untold truth. The
journey took him from California prisons to remote villages in Nicaragua, and
then the top leader in Washington.
“I thought my job was to tell the
public the truth, the facts; pretty or not, and let the publishing of those
facts make a difference in how people look at things, at themselves, and what
they stand for... “
Garry Webb
