The core themes of courage and journalistic integrity (and lack thereof) are as relevant today as ever.

This is a personal movie to my husband and me. Gary's story is important to tell. Unfortunately, these days without proper distribution and publicity, it can be overlooked. Thank you, Lisa

People need to hear and see what has happened by their government, how it affected our society and the price paid by the journalist who broke the story.

As Gary Webb's eldest son and a true believer in the importance of this film, I find Focus Features' minimal attempt to distribute this movie appalling. A film such as this, which does not involve a cape donning superhero, needed as much distribution and advertising possible to catch the attention of the masses. To add insult to injury, Focus has done a wonderful job of advertising for 'The Theory of Everything'...obviously with money withheld from 'Kill the Messenger'.
