In 1989 Panama was turned inside out by 26,000 US government troops searching for one man, Manuel Noriega. Stealth fighters roared overhead, media reports were suppressed and the civilian body count may have risen into the thousands. While the US government was telling one story, an intrepid group of filmmakers were braving roadblocks and bullets to bring America the truth. This film documents what really happened. See mass graves unearthed exposing horrific atrocities, homeless families interned in concentration camps, plus interviews with noted experts General Maxwell Thurman, Panamanian President Endara, former CIA analyst David MacMichael, and others revealing President Bush’s secret agenda behind the invasion—top keep US military bases in Panama after the year 2000 in defiance of the canal treaties, test high-tech weapons and train soldiers for their next confrontation, Desert Storm. Banned in Panama and labeled “subversive” in the United States, The Panama Deception will make you angry, it will make you cry, but most important, it will make you think.
