On the lighter side-Movies-The Post (2017)-Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep


A cover-up about the Vietnam War unfolded by a prestigious newspaper in this highly enjoyable movie. If you don’t know about American History, then you would have a hard time following it but watch it for how a newspaper resist government pressure to publish information which is deemed essential for press freedom. Highly recommended.
