Part 3/10:
Eight years prior, Dr. Alfred had submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to discover whether the CIA secretly contributed to the making of Argo (2012). The film, which dramatizes a covert CIA operation to rescue six Americans from Iran, has long been praised but also criticized for its historical distortions, especially concerning the CIA's role. Critics argued that Hollywood's portrayal elevated the agency’s involvement and minimized Canada's part in the rescue, prompting changes in subsequent versions of the film.
