On the Circuit: Peter Galison and Robb Moss (Secrecy)
Statistics state that in a recent year, the United States government classified about five times the number of pages added to the Library of Congress. The process costs about 8 billion dollars a year. In a time when foreign affairs are taking front stage and people are more anxious for news of cause and effect, the vast, invisible world of government secrecy is increasing. Secrecy poses important questions about the erosion of American democracy. At the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Zoom In Online’s Megan Cunningham got the chance to interview co-directors Peter Gallison and Robb Moss about what information is being kept from us for our own security, and what information is being kept from us at the detriment of that security.
