A SECRET LEGACY
At the height of the Cold War, the CIA orchestrated a top-secret battle deep inside Africa’s Congo. Unbeknownst to the American public, the CIA contracted a group of Cuban-exiles to carry out these clandestine operations. Today, the details on the Congo operation remain classified by the CIA.
"A Secret Legacy" is a documentary in production that tells the personal journey of my father Frank Alvarez, a 61-year-old Cuban immigrant on a quest to find out the truth about his deceased father, Panchito, who was one of the CIA-hired veterans.
The devastating effects of this clandestine mission in the Congo can still be seen today, and his journey will reveal many of the secrets that the CIA had hoped to keep locked up. Will he be able to convince the Cuban-exiles who participated in this operation to tell their stories? Or will this important piece of history remain a mystery?
