“Getting in too deep can be a matter of life or death”. America’s Dark Secrets Documentary takes a look at some of the most infamous extremists, radical & cult groups in American history. We also highlight the recent case involving the allege Black Hebrews crimes in Durham, North Carolina. What were the ties to top-secret government agencies; mass murders, suicides, illegal drug experimentation and the abundance of racial injustice? Who profits off of such groups? Are these extremists victims of urban terrorism, culprits or simply both? This documentary focuses on three main stories. First, we look at the kidnapping of a world famous newspaper heiress’ daughter named Patty Hearst. Next, is the biggest, single loss of life prior to 9/11 headed by cult leader Jim Jones. The charismatic preacher led a crusade of mostly minorities to their deaths in the jungles of Guyana, South America. One determined U.S. Congressman named Leo Ryan wanted to put a stop to Jones & aggressively pursue C.I.A involvement. He was assassinated in the line of duty. The 3rd segment of this film is the bombing of a radical group called “Move”, who protested against police brutality in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The bomb killed six African - American adults and five children dropped by Pennsylvania State Police. The C.I.A. has denied any involvement with Patty Hearst, The Move or Jim Jones. If we don’t know our past, how can we adequately be prepared for the future? |
