A showing of the significant and revealing PBS documentary by Bill Moyers, now disappeared from availability. But we have it!

A discussion will follow

1987 was a year when a window opened on an aspect of the American system that has since been closed again. That was the Iran-Contra hearings, and Bill Moyers was there to give PBS viewers one of the deepest views of what has been also called “the invisible government.” This special presents the secret history of this government, its clandestine intervention in foreign governments, its fomenting of wars, and its intervention in American society itself. The program contains striking and chilling interviews with CIA insiders and other officials who blow the whistle on what has been going on. This is an eye opening background to all that has happened in the world and in our society since the program was made.
