Documentary & Discussion: Father Roy and the School of the Assassins

 

One can't truly understand the ongoing deportation campaign without understanding why so many people from the global south have had to make the decision of leaving their homelands behind in the first place and how the US government has played a direct and indirect role for creating these conditions. In this documentary, we'll see how the US trained paramilitary groups that went on to carry out human rights violations and how Father Roy Bourgeois, a vietnam war hero turned priest, struggles to find and reveal the truth about this CIA/Pentagon secret torture training school at a US military base.
