Curiosidades
Various members of the cast and crew have admitted to receiving government-level "push back" to the film, both during filming and in post-production.

Pifias
Jerry Ceppos announces that Gary has been named the National Press Association's Journalist of the Year. There is no such thing as the National Press Association. He was named Journalist of the Year by the Bay Area Society of Professional Journalists. This is why he is speaking at the SPJ awards at the end of the film.

Citas
Gary Webb: American kids did die and are still dying, just not the ones you care about apparently.

Créditos adicionales
Just before the closing credits, there is a short video showing the real Gary Webb at home with his children.

8/10

Really liked the whole thing. A great drama.

It was a movie that made me think, as it involved a different angle to a subject that I knew something about.

The trailer suggest that the movie is about the true story of Gary Webb's article that suggest the CIA were evolved with drug dealing as a way to fund a war in the 1980's, but as the title of the movie described the people read the article and ran with their own conspiracies which lead to a CIA cover up that lead to Webb's downward spiral.

It is an Intriguing tell of a journalist trying to keep his integrity while forces were trying to ruin it to keep their own.

Jeremy Renner drove his acting vehicle well, not well enough in my opinion to win an Oscar or anything, but it proves that he can headline anything.

Definitely a good movie to sit through.
