Go Watch the Movie "Kill the Messenger"
Saw the movie "Kill the Messenger" this weekend. It was excellent!!! "Kill the Messenger" is the story of Gary Webb. He was the reporter for the SanJose Mercury News who covered the story that the CIA allowed shipments of cocaine to be shipped to destinations in the US. The huge profits from the sale of cocaine supplied the CIA with huge funds to do covert operations. Gary Webb was at first praised and then ridiculed. He was later suicided with two gun shot wounds to his head. Later a huge investigation into the scheme revealed Gary was right but the Clinton/Monica Lewinski scandal overshadowed the news of the investigation's report.
The movie "Kill the Messenger" probably doesn't have the funding for advertising that Brad Pitt's movie "Fury" or Ben Affleck's film "Gone Girl" has. So promotion needs to be word of mouth or blog. Please go see the movie!!!
