Manhunt is 100% better than Zero Dark Thirty.

This is political so I hope it passes GD standards. I don't know how I missed it when Manhunt came on HBO on 2013. But it's now available on YouTube. For me, it is very relevant today because it demonstrates how women in the intelligence field were continually ignored. What I find revealing, is that the same personality trait that keeps them obsessively researching an issue, is also the one that will get them ignored.

Pick it up at 33 minutes, where the author of that iconic memo "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US" starts falling apart because she knew we were going to get hit, but nobody took her seriously.

On edit: There is a section on "enchanced interrogation" which might be controversial. But, at least you'll get a good look at how it evolved.
