The Falcon Lands: CIA Interference in Australian Politics (2014)

Our weekly documentary film curated by the editorial team at 21WIRE.
Did the CIA interfere in 1970s Australian politics? Former US intelligence operative and convicted spy, Christopher Boyce, tells his story to Australia’s Dateline program. Boyce’s intervention was made famous by Hollywood’s theatrical release of The Falcon and the Snowman. Boyce reveals covert US ‘regime change’ operations in Australia which would eventually removed the Labour Prime Minister from power, as Washington sought to protect its key intelligence gathering facilities located Down Under.
