The Report (2019)

Adam Driver joins the ranks of Hoffman/Redford for his portrayal of Daniel Jones, a Senate staffer working under Sen. Dianne Feinstein who, over the course of five years, pored over millions of pages of CIA documents in an effort to expose their program of torture. A program rebranded, “Enhanced Interrogation.” A program that yielded practically no valuable information and instead will forever be a stain on the history of the United States.

The agency acted out of fear and panic following the 9/11 attacks and attempted to cover up or whitewash their actions. This film is the story of a small team who worked to expose their actions to the American people and led to a bi-partisan bill authored by Senators Feinstein and McCain that would ensure no government agency ever take part in another program of its kind.

This is up their with All the President’s Men, in my opinion.
