Description
The Most Secret Place On Earth - The CIA's Covert War in Laos
The Most Secret Place on Earth is a 2008 film by German
director Marc Eberle, dealing with the secret operation waged by the CIA
throughout the sixties and early seventies against communist guerrillas
in Laos, particularly in the city of Long Chen.
Marc Eberle talks
to the protagonists of Laos civil war - on both sides. The film
features interviews with State Department, CIA and Air America
officials, as well as Hmong general Vang Pao and some of his critics -
Fred Branfman and Professor Alfred McCoy.
Despite being the center
of the covert operation and, at its peak, one of the world's busiest
airports with a population of 50,000 people, Long Chen's location was
never marked on any map.
Long Chen remains off limits to
foreigners and most Lao due to clashes with remnants of the CIA's Hmong
army. Until recently it formed part of a special administrative zone
under the direct control of the Lao army.
