Billionaires vs the Press

The professional wrestler Hulk Hogan arrives at the courthouse during his lawsuit against Gawker.

In the Netflix documentary “Nobody Speak: Trials of a Free Press,” filmmaker Brian Knappenberger looks at two cases in which American billionaires tried to silence their critics. His portrayals of the Hulk Hogan vs Gawker lawsuit and the purchase of the Las Vegas Review-Journal underscore the new threats to the first amendment.
