Pierce, as Co-Directors to: Honor Dan as the father of whistleblowers featuring a walk through history with pivotal moments in Dan’s evolution as a whistleblower, as told by Dan’s friends, personal witnesses and grateful truth-tellers, inspired and nurtured by Dan.
Comments, live or recorded by Patricia Ellsberg, John Henry, Diane Perlman, Richard Falk, Helen Caldicott, Peter Kuznick, John Kiriakou, Medea Benjamin, Ann Wright, Chris Appy. Due to time constraints in the “live” program, tributes by Gar Alperovitz, Coleen Rowley, and Ray McGovern were not able to be included so will be added, as will the more extensive tributes by those featured here. So this is Part I, with Part II to be added which will have the complete comments and tributes.
