A true story about the reporter Gary Webb who uncovered the CIA's alliance with Druglords to fund the Nicaraguan War, which resulted in American Cities getting flooded with Cocaine and the subsequent backlash that he received which destroyed his personal & professional life. A very taut & sleek crime drama directed by Michael Cuesta, with Jeremy Renner as the magnificent lead, portraying a resilient truth seeker & a loving family man equally well. It showed how far & deep the Government Machinery will go to hide its dirty secrets as even the crew of the film received pressure from the Government to not proceed with making this.
