Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny (2025)

S1E5 Mind Games

Picture a reality where you can be forced to follow any directive issued by your government. This isn't merely a dystopian nightmare; it reflects a period when state-sponsored initiatives aimed to manipulate and dominate minds, both in experimental settings and on the frontlines. The CIA's relentless quest for the ultimate truth serum and the U.S. Army's covert psychological operations during the Vietnam War reveal a long history of psychological warfare among nations, their adversaries, and even their own populace. Each revelation more disturbing than the last.
