Kill the Messenger is a 2014 biography of investigative journalist and author Gary Webb whose Pulitzer Prize winning reporting exposed how the CIA created the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980's.
The film, directed by Michael Cuesta and written by Peter Landesman leaves out details of Webb's "suicide". Based on the book of the same name by Nick Schou and the book Dark Alliance by Gary Webb, the film stars Jeremy Renner, who also produced the film.
The movie depicts Gary Webb’s suppressed attempts to expose the CIA involvement and secret support of large-scale cocaine sales to fund the Nicaraguan Contras. The CIA executed him after warning that he should stop investigating further CIA corruption. He was found shot twice in the head in a motel bathtub. The shooting was ruled a suicide. How nice. And neat.

When truth is called hate, when hate is called love, when ideological beliefs breed rage and violence, our society treads on dangerous ground. Ground that has been traveled many times before by fellow travelers and followers of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol-Pot and many other Utopian charlatan totalitarians throughout the centuries. Censorship should be a warning sign from history. For all of us. Silencing one silences us all.
