For decades, Muammar Gaddafi, a ruthless dictator and state sponsor of terrorism, was a top target for the CIA. This documentary reveals the extraordinary secret history of how the US government worked to get rid of him. From a failed assassination attempt in 1986 to a long-game strategy of covertly backing a Libyan rebel army, we trace the full story of the CIA's decades-long pursuit. We also expose the agency’s playbook by looking at another high-stakes operation: a coup in Guatemala where they used psychological warfare to overthrow a democratically elected leader. Using a fake radio station, an illusion of force, and a few well-placed lies, the CIA reshaped history. This is the real story of the covert wars you were never meant to see.
