Discover the CIA like never before with interviews of the highest ranking officers: ex-CIA directors, deputy directors, field agents, ex-Secretaries of State, Presidential advisers, ⦠They all have accepted to talk about the CIA's 60-year domination of the planet, from the days of Harry Truman to George W. Bush. This three-part documentary series takes an in-depth look at the anatomy and functioning of the CIA, its failures (the Bay of Pigs, the Watergate Scandal) and its chronic shortsightedness (inability to foresee the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism, the fall of the USSR, or the Sept. 11th attacks). The film identifies and dissects the CIA's true power base and gives us a rare inside glimpse at the inner workings of the US intelligence agency and American government.

Genovese Portrait of a Crime Family
Part 2 of 4 By the late 1970s, the Sicilian mafia was smuggling millions of dollars worth of heroin into the US every year. They had a unique method of distribution via Sicilian-owned pizzerias across the United States. The racket became known as the Pizza Connection. The vast profits to be made from heroin led to savage violence as competing mafia dons and families sought a bigger piece of the pie. In the US, it led to the assassination of a greedy godfather in broad daylight. In Sicily, a murderous clan known as the Corleonesi - from the town of Corleone, which gave its name to Marlon Brando's character in 'The Godfather' - blasted their way to the top of the mafia. Ultimately, a battle would rage on the streets of the US between a new breed of ruthless mafioso and a new kind of policeman, prepared to risk everything to infiltrate the mafia. With the help of FBI agents like Joe Pistone (aka Donnie Brasco) and Carmine Russo the Mafia's drug enterprise would be exposed and eventually dismantled.
