About this film

The Boston Marathon Bombings triggered a local and federal response that, according to journalist Glenn Greenwald, adds a new dimension to troubling questions about government secrecy, overreach and what we sacrifice in the name of national security. Greenwald, a former constitutional and civil rights litigator, joins Bill Moyers to peel back layers that reveal what the Boston bombings and drone attacks have in common and how secrecy leads to abuse of government power.
