Coverup, an award-winning feature-length documentary produced by the Empowerment Project, exposes several of the most disturbing chapters in the history of U.S. covert foreign policy. It presents a tale of politics, drugs, hostages, weapons, assassinations, covert operations and the ultimate plan to suspend the U.S. Constitution. It is the only film to present a comprehensive overview of the most important stories suppressed during the Iran Contra hearings. Critically acclaimed, Coverup was reviewed as “chilling, lucid and consistent” by the LA Times and “Calm, coherent, and persuasive the Chicago Tribune. It is a film with insightful relevance in today’s world.

Special Guests: We just found out recently that Coverup's director Barbara Trent will speak and lead a discussion after each screening. Solmaz Mohadjer, Iran native and graduate student in geophysics at the University of Montana, will join us as well.
