OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD

Operation Mockingbird (2025) is an investigative documentary exposing the CIA’s alleged Cold War program to manipulate American media. It traces the operation’s roots to the 1950s under Frank Wisner, using declassified files, Church Committee findings, and Carl Bernstein’s 1977 exposé. With archival footage, reenactments, and interviews—historians, ex-CIA, media critics—it covers journalist recruitment, cultural influence (Animal Farm), and front organizations. The film questions if Mockingbird persists today, blending noir style with modern skepticism, sparking debate about media trust.
