SYNOPSIS | Hidden behind the walls of the CIA’s base in Langly, Virginia lies a half-century’s worth of secrets and cover-ups that have made the CIA one of America’s most powerful weapons and most reviled institutions. Employing an extensive web of spies and double agents, the CIA is a formidable center of world intelligence that has been responsible for the assassinations of world leaders, the arming of rebel forces and planning of covert militaryoperations from behind a thick veil of secrecy. But, mired in its own staggering beaurocracy, the CIA has become trapped within a wilderness of mirrors where truths are never what they seem, paranoia runs rampant, and double agents have the power to undermine American security.

CIA: AMERICA’S SECRET WARRIORS takes an inside look at the CIA’s fifty years of successes and failures. Told from the perspectives of the agency’s key historical players, this three part series documents the danger, excitement, comradery and betrayal of life on the inside. It offers a detailed chronicle of the CIA’s role on the world stage, ranging from the failures in the Cuban Missile Crisis and Iran Contra debacle to the CIA’s role in ending the Cold War and maintaining America’s domestic drug trade. The film paints a vivid picture that both sympathizes with the CIA for performing the thankless job of protecting American freedom and criticizes the agency for the devastatingconsequences of its historic abuses of power, offering powerful insight into why the CIA has become a epicenter of US political controversy.

The definitive history of the CIA featuring the first interviews with a number of key clandestine officers and operatives.
