From “The X-Files” to the shadowy world of government secrets, David Duchovny continues his exploration of the unknown. This Friday’s “Secrets Declassified” takes on a particularly unsettling topic: state-sponsored mind control programs.
Forget tinfoil hats; this episode explores the very real, and often disturbing, history of government attempts to manipulate and control minds. From the CIA’s relentless search for a truth serum to the US Army’s covert PsyOps operations in Vietnam, “Mind Games” pulls back the curtain on programs designed to influence behavior and extract information.
Duchovny, with his signature blend of curiosity and skepticism, guides viewers through declassified files and expert interviews, exploring the ethical and practical implications of these programs. What lengths did governments go to in their pursuit of psychological control? And what were the lasting consequences of these often-bizarre experiments? “Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny: Mind Games” attempts to uncover just that this Friday, May 2 at 10:00 PM ET/PT on History.
