The documentary was based on interviews with William Binney, a 32-year veteran of the National Security Agency, who became a whistleblower and described the details of the Stellar Wind project that he helped to design.And when we had a cut, before we showed even Diane, nobody saw anything until Nan could have the opportunity to hear. Sources and Secrets: A Conference on the Press, the Government and National Security" The Times Center presented by the George Polk Awards and hosted by The New York Times, in cooperation with CUNY TV, the Media Law Resource Center, and the Media Law Resource Center Institute. The doc points out that before OxyContin, the Sacklers were pushing Valium hard, and Poitras includes a few of those nightmare ads that once flourished, targeting women and their anxieties, the goal not so much to make them feel better as to make them less of a problem for their husbands and families.

In both cases, on very different levels, reputation is all, and the resulting destructiveness is grave. This is captured in one extraordinary scene as Poitras films Goldin participating in a court-mandated Zoom in which the Sackler family was forced to witness first-hand stories of the suffering they caused.

S. domestic spying was revealed, then international spying, then spying on officials in other countries, even German Chancellor Merkel. As a filmmaker, Laura Poitras has burnished her bona fides as an investigative journalist, notably in Citizenfour, which captured whistleblower history in the making.Poitras’s relationship with WikiLeaks was further complicated when it emerged in 2016 that Jacob Applebaum, one of Assange’s closest WikiLeaks confidantes, has also been accused of sexual abuse.
