"Coverup: Behind the Iran Contra Affair"

Coverup exposes several of the most disturbing chapters in the history of U.S.
covert foreign policy. It presents a tale of politics, drugs, hostages,
weapons, assassinations, covert operations and the ultimate plan to suspend the
U.S. Constitution. Coverup was the first film to reveal the 'October Surprise'
hostage deal (the Reagan/Bush campaign deal with Iran to delay the release of
the 52 American hostages until after the 1980 election), and is the only film
which presents a comprehensive overview of the most important stories
suppressed during the Iran Contra hearings. It is the only film that puts the
entire Iran Contra affair into a meaningful political and historical context.
The 1988 film Is updated with information from recent court cases and events,
reconfirming much of the material presented.

The film has won numerous awards and critical acclaim:
The Los Angeles Times calls Coverup "chillingly lucid and consistent." The
Chicago Tribune says It Is "calm. coherent and persuasive...." while the Denver
Post calls It "a challenging piece, very much worth seeing, no matter what your
politics."

Coverup won the American Film & Video Association, Blue Ribbon Award for Best
Documentary. Social Issues; National Education Film & Video Festival, Crystal
Apple for Best Documentary, Social & Political Issues; Golden Hugo Best
Independent Video, Chicago International Film Festival; the Prix Du Public for
Best Documentary. Women's international Film Festival (Films DC Femmes, Paris,
France); Gold Award for Best Video Documentary, Philadelphia International Film
Festival Int'l Assn. of Motion Pictures & TV Producers).
