In the tumultuous aftermath of World War II, as the Third Reich crumbled and the world braced for a new era, an enigmatic figure emerged from the chaos. Wernher von Braun, a high-ranking Nazi engineer, coolly extended an olive branch to the US government, offering his expertise in exchange for sanctuary. This event marked the inception of Operation Paperclip, a clandestine operation shrouded in controversy and ethical dilemmas.
In the summer of 1975, Sidney Gottlieb, a retired CIA operative, received a chilling phone call from Washington. The caller, sounding unnerved, revealed that the agency was aware of Gottlieb's identity and his involvement in their most clandestine operations. This marked the beginning of the unraveling of one of the most disturbing chapters in American history: the CIA's MKUltra program.
