What Is The Panama Deception About?
The premise of The Panama Deception without spoilers.
The documentary, winner of the 1993 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, investigates the true motives behind the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama. It argues the operation was not driven by protecting troops, restoring democracy, or capturing Manuel Noriega, but by forcing Panama to submit to U.S. interests after Noriega’s usefulness had waned.
