The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, co-produced and co-directed by Rick Goldsmith and Judith Ehrlich, will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, then have two theatrical runs, more festival appearances and other screenings within a month.
“In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, a high-level Pentagon official and Vietnam War strategist, concludes that the war is based on decades of lies and leaks 7,000 pages of top secret documents to The New York Times, making headlines around the world. A riveting story of how one man’s profound change of heart creates a landmark struggle involving America’s newspapers, its president and Supreme Court.

Eating Alaska brings food and discussion of sustainability to community groups, farmer’s market and festivals.
Over the past months groups from Nome to New York have shown EATING ALASKA in conjunction with sustainability fairs and panel discussions including vegans, butchers, journalists, fishers, beekeepers and ranchers, as a fundraiser for local farmers’ markets and greenhouses, and as a challenge, asking viewers to come to screenings with foods they have grew, brew or caught.
In August screenings across Alaska include a salmon smoking class, an end of the day celebration for a new farmer’s market, a premiere at a fair trade store and a local foods potluck at an educational center in the mountains.
Details for these screenings can be found at:

ASK NOT, fresh from its national broadcast premiere earlier this summer on PBS’ Independent Lens, will screen at this month’s American Sociological Association Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
The film, which explores the experiences of gays and lesbians serving under the “don’t ask, don’t tell†policy in the US military, also just was awarded Best Documentary at the OutTakes Film Festival in New Zealand.
