What a fantastic achievement by Stephen Spielberg--and so very timely. It's still hard for me to believe how often history repeats itself. In my lifetime, it seems like we've consistently taken two steps forward and four steps back. Freedom of the press is absolutely vital. Especially in this era of information. We need to educate how to discern information and how to stand up for what is right. Films (and other art) like this help--they can make a difference. As the film poignantly states near the end of the film "from the majority opinion: 'In the First Amendment the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors.'"
