A Secret Legacy (A Documentary Film)
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 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.
As the film progresses, we will meet the few remaining Cuban exiles, who will share their stories about their experiences in the Congo. The veterans will tell their mysterious and compelling tales of cannibalism, covert CIA operations, plane crashes, rebels, Che Guevara and his Cuban guerrillas, the rescue of Evangelical missionaries, and the Simba warriors and their witch-doctors.
But will Frank be able to find out the truth about what really happened to his father and the other Cuban Exiles in the Congo before the legacies of these men are gone forever?
