Come to a free screening about the history that history forgot.

COINTELPRO 101
DC Metro Area Showings
March 5th - 29th

COINTELPRO was a series of covert, and often 
illegal, projects conducted by the United States 
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at 
surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and 
disrupting domestic political organizations. The 
tactics used included discrediting targets 
through psychological warfare, planting false 
reports in the media, smearing through forged 
letters, harassment, wrongful imprisonment, 
extralegal violence and assassination.

COINTELPRO 101 is an educational film that will 
open the door to understanding this history. The 
documentary will introduce viewers new to this 
history to the basics and direct them to other 
resources where they can learn more. The intended 
audiences are the generations that did not 
experience the social justice movements of the 
sixties and seventies. We are screening this new 
documentary far and wide. The intended audiences 
are (but not limited to) the generations that did 
not experience the social justice movements of
