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.
