How us government had misled the public about vietnam war


Problem: I would choose New York Times Co. v. United States Supreme Court case to turn into a movie. The story would show reporters and editors at The New York Times as they receive the secret Pentagon Papers, a classified study showing that the U.S. government had misled the public about the Vietnam War. The movie would focus on the hard decision of either to publishing the documents knowing the risk of legal action and national security concerns. It would also be about the government trying to stop publication before the information was accessible to the public. I would keep the major events historically accurate but add dramatic conversations and suspense to make the movie more interesting. Instead of most of the movie being in the courtroom, I would focus on the documents and the Supreme Court decision as the climactic ending. The last few scenes would be the Court ruling in favor of the newspapers. This would go with the importance of freedom of the press under the First Amendment. What do you think?
