William Karel gives us “a history” of the CIA, from its creation in 1947 unto the present day. The way its works, how it recruits agents, how it protects itself, how it makes decisions, its real power, its manipulations, its rapport with the U.S. government. As well as its many failures. Some key moments illuminated and explained by intelligence chiefs, whose influence has been crucial and power limitless. This film tries to understand how and why the self-centered diplomatic interests were entrusted to this mythical organization, the Central Intelligence Agency.
