But despite all the complications, The Insider is simple to follow. Unlike

other investigative hits, for example All The President's Men, which tells the

story of how two Washington Post reporters uncovered the Watergate scandal,

The Insider doesn't drown us in an ocean of information. The strategy is clear:

This film focuses on the characters, not the process.

And, alas, that only makes me wish to see characters like Bergman and

Wigand in this country — not the self-proclaimed heroes, but people who're at

least interested in telling the truth about the cigarettes we smoke, the water we

drink, the chickens we eat.
