The Complete History of the CIA | Sleep Documentary
The CIA was founded in 1947 with a single mandate: never let another Pearl Harbor happen. What it became is something far more complicated.
In this sleep documentary, we trace the complete history of the Central Intelligence Agency — from its roots in wartime espionage, through the Cold War, the assassination plots, the coups, the mind control experiments, and the operations that reshaped the modern world without most people ever knowing.
Topics covered:
• The OSS and the birth of American intelligence
• MK Ultra — the CIA's secret LSD and mind control program
• Operation Mockingbird — covert influence over American media
• The Bay of Pigs and the Cuba plots against Castro
• CIA-backed coups in Iran, Guatemala, Chile, and beyond
• The Church Committee and Congress's first real look inside
• Post-9/11 black sites, enhanced interrogation, and rendition
Seventy years of secrets. Most of them are still classified.
Legends of the Unknown explores dark history, true crime, and suppressed government secrets — designed to accompany you as you drift off to sleep.
