_The Panama Deception_
Dir. Barbara Trent

Winner of the Academy Award for the Best Documentary in 1993

_The Panama Deception_ documents the untold story of the December
1989 U.S. invasion of Panama: the events which led to it; the
excessive force used; the enormity of the death and destruction; and
the devastating aftermath.  _The Panama Deception_ uncovers the real
reasons for this internationally condemned attack, presenting a view
of the invasion which widely differs from that portrayed by the U.S.
media and exposes how the U.S. government and the mainstream media
suppressed information about this foreign policy disaster.

_The Panama Deception_ includes never-before-seen footage of the
invasion and its aftermath, as well as interviews with both invasion
proponents like Gen. Maxwell Thurman, Panamanian President Endara and
Pentagon spokesperson Pete Williams, and opponents like U.S.
Representative Charles Rangel (D-NY.), Panamanian human rights
workers Olga Mejia and Isabel Corro and former Panamanian diplomat
Humberto Brown.  Network news clips and media critics contribute to a
staggering analysis of media control and self censorship relevant to
any news coverage today, particularly during times of war.
