Review by gcarpiceci

The documentary is as eye-opening as it is disturbing; the facts it brings to surface are shocking and what hurts is that they are credible, as they fall quite logically in the dirty jigsaw that was the Iran-drug-Contra affair of that period. There is just one element which left a little bug in my mind; the testimonies are undoubtedly powerful, very emotional, yet it remains difficult to forget that most of them come from informants, snitches, and as always with these people the doubt remains: are they telling ALL and ONLY the truth or just that part of the truth needed for them to be credible? I also thought it unfortunate that this excellent documentary closed with a low note, ie the phone conversation with an anonymous source - that is bad journalism and moreover not needed at that point.
