2014美国纪录片《Silenced》由詹姆斯·斯皮奥内导演,影片讲述的是:
Only eleven Americans have ever been charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 Eight of them since President Obama took office Oscarnominated documentarian James Spione returns to the Festival with the incredible personal journeys of two members of that octet Thomas Drake and John Kiriakou along with Jesselyn Radack the accountability advocate who helped bring their cases to light
With particular resonance in the postSnowden era Silenced makes an impassioned and thoughtprovoking defense of whistleblowers as an indispensible unit in a functioning democracy Spione catalogues the extraordinary lengths to which the US government has gone to keep its most damning secrets as Radack Drake and Kiriakou the exCIA operative who first revealed waterboarding as an established agency practice become cautionary tales for any American who takes the government’s fealty to Constitutional ideals as a given Executive Produced by Susan Sarandon
