Abstract: Did America knowingly allow Pakistan to become the first Islamic nuclear state? Did it look the other way as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and others collaborated to create the ultimate weapon in defense of Islam? Was America so desperate to defeat the Soviets that it quietly sanctioned a trade-off, permitting the Muslim world to create a nuclear bomb in exchange for help driving the Russians from Afghanistan? This film presents a powerful and compelling indictment of U.S. nuclear policy over the past several decades, with trenchant commentary from investigative journalist Joseph Trento (The Secret History of the CIA), counterintelligence expert Mike Pilgrim, and Pakistani nuclear physicist Pervez Hoodbhoy. (45 minutes).
