Film Description
One year before Desert Storm there was Operation Just Cause—the U.S. invasion of Panama. THE PANAMA DECEPTION, produced by the makers of the highly acclaimed COVERUP: BEHIND THE IRAN-CONTRA AFFAIR, is a powerful and provocative expose of that invasion. The film challenges the “official” rationale for the war and uncovers striking visual evidence of tremendous devastation and gross human rights violations not reported by the mainstream media. Eyewitness accounts and never-before-seen footage contradict Pentagon and media reports that deaths and damage were minimal. THE PANAMA DECEPTION raises fundamental questions about our government's control and manipulaton of the media, as well as the media's complicity. A range of human rights and legal experts provide commentary, along with invasion commander General Maxwell Thurman.
