OH MY GOSH I LOVED THIS MOVIE! I had no idea what it was about. I just put it on and I was sucked in immediately. It was shocking at what was happening, and I just couldn't understand why she wouldn't just tell who her source was! I finally found out. It is a riveting movie. One to watch. This is a movie everyone should watch to understand why freedom of speech is so important. The ending shocked me and made me cry. I was moved to tears. Literally.
