Determined to stop Indonesia from turning communist, CIA’s famed spymaster Frank Wisner sets out to weaken President Sukarno – with a scandalous porn movie.
The story of the CIA, told from the inside out by veteran agent Eloise Page. Starring Kim Cattrall, Ed Harris and Johnny Flynn.
In Episode 2.6… It’s 1957 and the Agency’s legendary spymaster Frank Wisner, haunted by his own unravelling mind, is desperate to keep Indonesia from slipping into the Soviet sphere. His solution - a sordid blackmail plot involving a fake X-rated film meant to ruin President Sukarno’s reputation and shatter his hold on power.
