Film €“ Kill the Messenger

See the film then write a reflection paper that covers all these points

€¢ write a synopsis of the movie

€¢ what illegal activity is the CIA involved in that Webb uncovers?

€¢ how does Webb find out about what the CIA is doing?

€¢ what does he do about it?

€¢ why are so many newspapers unsupportive of Webb €“ aren’t newspapers supposed to

seek out the truth and report on it?

€¢ why does Webb’s own paper turn on him?

€¢ what president is in office during this time €“ what does this president say in a publicized

speech about the illegal activity?

€¢ what is Webb’s ultimate fate?

€¢ what is your assessment of the CIA and its function €“ do you feel that the CIA should

be more transparent and accountable to the public? Or, do you feel that the CIA is doing

what it has to do for national security?’ Or do you have another opinion altogether on the

CIA?

The paper should include many of your own observations about how the US government

involves itself in other countries and why it does so.
