A COMMON INSANITY
A Conversation with Daniel Ellsberg About Nuclear Weapons
Directed by Oscar-nominee Judith Ehrlich, this new film – now premiering as a free documentary – illuminates the dangers of nuclear weapons as well as the political and economic forces that drive their existence. Powerful and concise in little more than half an hour, A Common Insanity provides never-before-seen footage of Daniel Ellsberg explaining what he learned as a nuclear war planner for the U.S. military, and as an independent researcher during the five decades after he revealed the Pentagon Papers.
