The summer movie season is in full swing, and Steven Spielberg's latest film, Disclosure Day, is hoping to abduct a significant share of the box office. Meanwhile, a NewsNation correspondent who appears in the film is set to host a special on the cable news channel, exploring the real-life disclosure movement. Elsewhere in Hollywood, other projects are making headlines, from the renewal of a popular TV series to the reunion of acclaimed actors with a renowned director.

NewsNation's special aims to shed light on this phenomenon and explore its implications.
