Nobody Speak is an urgent film about ongoing threats to journalists, otherwise known in some quarters as “enemies of the people.” Last year, the snarky online news outlet Gawker declared bankruptcy after it lost a lawsuit for publishing the sex tape of wrestler Hulk Hogan. The film reveals that Gawker’s death is part of an attack on media outlets by right-wing sugar daddy Sheldon Adelson and the fascinating uber-libertarian Peter Thiel. Directed by Brian Knappenberger (We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists about Anonymous), 96 min.
