You have to see this film. It's 2 hours long, and worth the price. You will be shocked by what goes on in upper government office, and the whole conspiracy to bring in drugs to the U.S. to fund wars in South America and (God knows how many other parts of the world) by top officials in the CIA. Don't get me wrong, there are many people in government that don't even know this is going on, and there are others that know but cant do anything about it!

Even if your a skeptic, you need to see this film, it will make you look at your government with different eyes.

The information here is good and worth learning. The DVD centers around the famous Arkansas Train Deaths of two teenage kids who likely saw something they weren't suppose to see in an area known for drug drops. The investigation ties these deaths back to the CIA and thereafter shows how the CIA is the heart of an enormous drug and weapons smuggling operation. The editing quality and sometimes the sound quality are momentarily questionable, but it is not poor enough to warrant not getting the film and thus, the information.

In August of 1987 in Arkansas, two teenagers were murdered and their bodies were placed across a set of train tracks so their bodies could be dismembered. The reason they were killed was because they saw a drug drop from an aircraft in their vicinity and they couldn't be left alive to report what they saw. These deaths themselves are mired in controversy as explained in this program but they opened up the doorway that sheds light on a massive drug smuggling operation that happened right here in America.

The prime location for most of this illegal activity is a place called Mena, Arkansas and the small but extraordinarily busy airport that services this town. This was a base of operations of sorts for aircraft making drug runs to and from South America and ferrying massive amounts of drugs into the United States. Mena has been called the home of Contra gun running, drug smuggling, and covert black operations. It appears that the lucrative nature of this narcotics business is a popular and simple way to fund covert missions when needed (the Iran-Contra scandal is a good example). It was supposed to be mired in secrecy but the government has shown time and again that they are terrible at keeping things quiet but they're experts in damage control, manipulation, lying, and deception.

A key player in this story is the C.I.A. and America's chief drug smuggler Barry Seal who ran his own huge smuggling operation during this time. Questions abound regarding Seal as a CIA agent, how much the American government knew and how complicit they were in all of this, and many other things. Thanks to a large assortment of evidence, eyewitness testimony, video footage, and interviews with key players in this documentary, some of it very solid and some of it circumstantial, it shows very disturbing and shocking events that involve many big names high in the government. It also points out agencies that you ordinarily might not expect to be involved in these types of illicit activities.

I found this documentary to be quite interesting for the most part and the information contained within is highly controversial and thought provoking to say the least. If even half or most of what is presented here is true, it is a scary look at a dark and menacing side of the American government that isn't held accountable for its actions and it poses a real threat to a healthy democracy.

If ever there was a CD that laid capitalism bare, this is it! Regardless of the obfuscation of Oliver North, the truth is abundantly clear that that the American government starting with his Republican president obtained political leverage by selling weapons to obtain black-money that would not appear on account sheets for the Congress that needed to appropriate the money. Sure, if you are a conservative you can say that the end justifies the means and that fallacious argument can roll-on forever but the point must come some day that the "bottom line" is not the only line for humanity (we hope)!

This is a wonderful video whose truth cannot be denied by any right-thinking person. Buy it and make your own judgement.
