Made all the more timely by recent U.S. invasions and the current "war on terror," this riveting classic expose has been called "tough, provocative, highly opinionated...an answer to the official U.S. government line about the 1989 invasion of Panama." (N.Y. Times) This Director's Cut features 80 minutes of bonus features. Young people in their twenties and younger, who don't remember this, need to learn about it, to understand the recent, bloody history of recent U.S. intervention.
Acclaimed filmmakers Trent and Kaspar uncover the real reasons for the internationally condemned attack, revealing Noriega's longstanding relationship with the CIA, ther DEA and George Bush, Sr., and unsparingly point the blame at all involved. Utilizing devastating video footage, expert commentary and eyewitness testimony, the film explores a cover-up hauntingly relevant today, while network news clips and media critics contribute to a staggering analysis of media control and self-censorship used to deceive the American public.
• "A cinematic molotiov cocktail" – The Boston Herald
In late 1989 President and former CIA Director George H.W. Bush, Sr. gave the order for "Operation Just Cause" sending 26,00 U.S. troops into Panama to execute a bloody invasion that left thousands homeless, imprisoned in concentration camps and buried in mass graves. The stated goal was to capture President that we hads propped up and supported, Manuel Noriega. The film documents the untold story of the December invasion, the events which led to it, the excessive force used, the enormity of the death and destruction and the devastating aftermath.
