Reading a Book: "The CIA in Hollywood: How the Agency Shapes Films, Television"

 Television programs, films, and series are highly effective tools for creating scenarios that support its political vision, and promote a positive image of its activities. This book reveals some of the history of the agency, and how it collaborated with Hollywood to produce entertainment that serves its interests, attracts clients, and justifies its exaggerated secrecy. This was done either by providing financial support for film and series production or by offering artistic consultations or intelligence information that contributes to shaping the portrayal of political reality, in ways that serve the agency’s interests.
