Contents/Summary

Summary
“Dirty Secrets” follows the efforts of U.S. lawyer Jennifer Harbury to find the truth about her husband Everardo, a Guatemalan revolutionary and Mayan guerrilla leader, who disappeared after being captured by government forces. This search reveals the dark legacy of decades of CIA complicity in Guatemalan human rights abuses. The video includes rare interviews with Everardo’¬s family, his fellow guerrilla combatants and witnesses to his capture and torture. Declassified U.S. government documents offer a chilling official record of his fate and raise troubling questions about U.S. involvement and the role of the CIA in Guatemala.
