How Ben Affleck (and Bryan Cranston) Got into the CIA
Deep dive into Ben Affleck, his Oscar-winning film Argo, how the CIA supported and promoted the movie and how it twists the true history and present day relationship between Iran and the United States. Using documents obtained by Matt Alford, and a whole load of behind-the-scenes interviews and clips from the cast and crew of Argo, I detail how it is a love letter to the CIA, and to US foreign policy in Iran.
