Good Night, and Good Luck Movie
Based on true events, the political drama portrays the confrontation between journalist Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn) and U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin that shook the American society in 1954. America's freedom, values and ideals were threatened when Joseph McCarthy launched a massive campaign against communists. Murrow, a well-known host of the CBS television program, was the first person who drew the attention of the general public to ideological and political problems. Despite corporate pressure and the potential ramifications, the courageous journalist ventured to investigate and expose McCarthy and his dirty methods during his "witch-hunts."
