about
BROUGHT TO LIGHT Alan Moore and Gary Lloyd Code5 Based upon the research of the Christic Institute into covert activities by the Central Intelligence Agency, BROUGHT TO LIGHT is a harrowing and darkly humorous view of world politics and the violent, often stupid, behind-the-scenes forces that have shaped it in the second half of the 20th century. Pulling on the persona of the quintessential ugly American CIA insider like a well worn Stetson, Alan steps up to the bar, buys us a drink, and proceeds to recount the horrifying history of the CIA's secret war against just about everybody, (including America's allies and own citizens) with the kind of unabashed glee that recalls Doctor Strangelove at his best (or worst!). Cuba, the Kennedy Assassination, Viet Nam, Iran Contra and all the other political debacles since World War Two unfold like a child's paper origami to reveal a vicious hydra headed monster with its shadowy tentacles reaching into every aspect of our daily lives. Musical accompaniment is composed and performed by acclaimed soundtrack composer Gary Lloyd. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
