Join Us for "Secrecy" Screenings and Q&A with the Filmmakers
Friday, October 17, 2008 — Thursday, October 23, 2008
In a single recent year the U.S. classified about five times the number of pages added to the Library of Congress. We live in a world where the production of secret knowledge dwarfs the production of open knowledge. Depending on whom you ask, government secrecy is either the key to victory in our struggle against terrorism, or our Achilles heel.
“Secrecy” is about the vast, invisible world of government secrecy. By focusing on classified secrets, the government's ability to put information out of sight if it would harm national security, “Secrecy” explores the tensions between our safety as a nation, and our ability to function as a democracy.
