The Panama Deception is a riveting Academy Award winning documentary, this special extended version is made all the more timely by recent U.S. invasions and the current "war on terror" (91 min).

This important film documents the untold story of the December 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama, the events which led to it, the excessive force used and the enormity of the death and destruction and the devastating aftermath.

Acclaimed filmmakers Barbara Trent and David Kasper uncover the real reasons for this internationally condemned attack. Utilizing devastating footage, expert commentary and eyewitness testimony, the film shines a spotlight on this pivotal moment in U.S. history. Network news clips and media critics contribute to a staggering analysis of media control and self-censorship used to deceive the American public--a film hauntingly relevant today.
