The Post

This week I had the opportunity to watch the movie “The Post.” The movie stars Meryl Streep as an unsure woman who is tasked with taking over her late husband’s newspaper. As she’s adjusting, the newspaper’s editor Ben Bradlee comes into contact with a source that provided the newspaper with the evidence that eventually turned into the Pentagon Papers. The story is a strong tale of journalists that must make the call on what is in their personal best interest and what is their duty to the people of the United States as journalists. Ultimately, a small group comes together to start piecing together the papers and releases them to the public. The group's journey to make the decision is inspiring and I was captivated by the characters. [1 image, 1 movie, 128 words].
