9. The Unknown Known
Site Score: 2, IMDb Score: 3 Overall Score: 5

Donald Rumsfeld was one of the most controversial figures of the Bush Jr. administration. His career in the executive branch started in 1969, under President Nixon and continued under President Reagan. But it wasn’t until President Bush appointed him Secretary of Defense in 2001 that he truly grasped the reins of power. His actions heavily influenced the decisions that lead to the invasion of Iraq and all the consequences we see today, more than a decade later. The movie was called “maddening” by Forbes and is not recommended for anyone with weak nerves. Some of Rumsfeld answers may make you throw things at your screen.
