The
filmmakers, Verboud and
Viallet, spent nearly two years interviewing witnesses and researching
the
invocation and
implementation of the state secrets privilege in Edmonds's case. Based
on their documented
findings and
interviews
with experts such as David Albright, Philip Giraldi, John Cole, Joseph
Trento, Glenn Fine,
David Rose, and
others
familiar with Edmonds's case, the film presents a terrifying picture of
Turkish networks,
activities in global nuclear
black-market,
narcotics
and illegal arms trafficking activities in the United States, and examines the
extraordinary
efforts of officials within the US Government to insure that the
secrecy surrounding Edmonds'
case be
maintained at any cost from Edmonds' termination from the FBI, to
invoking the State Secrets Privilege, to
gagging the
US Congress.
"Sibel Edmonds
lives in a
great democracy but at the wrong time. Making a film on a woman who is
gagged by the Bush
administration, one
of the most secretive in U.S history, was almost a civic duty. We hope
this film will be a wake
up call for all of
us", stated Mathieu Verboud, the co-director of Kill the Messenger.
