TIFF 09 - The Most Dangerous Men in America

image Last night there was a dinner for the various documentary filmmakers in town for TIFF.  One of the highlights was watching Daniel Ellsberg (subject of Judith Ehrlich and Rick Goldsmith’s THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA: DANIEL ELLSBERG AND THE PENTAGON PAPERS) speaking with Javorn Drummond (one of the Iraq veterans profiled in Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein’s HOW TO FOLD A FLAG).  Both films have their world premieres this evening.
