The Panama Deception is a 1992 documentary film that won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The film is critical of the actions of the US military during the 1989 invasion of Panama by the United States, covering the conflicting reasons for the invasion and the depicting of the US media as biased. It was directed by Barbara Trent of the Empowerment Project and was narrated by actress Elizabeth Montgomery. The film asserts that the US government invaded Panama primarily to renegotiate the Torrijos--Carter Treaties. Another allegation made by the film is that the United States tested some form of laser or energy weapon during the invasion. The film also includes footage of mass graves uncovered after the US troops had withdrawn, carpet-bombed civilian neighborhoods, as well as the depiction of some of the 20000 refugees who fled the invasion.

This is an obvious example of American public relations (propaganda) distorting facts, using the 'fourth branch of the government" (the media) to muster, persuade, and slant public opinion and public knowledge. The bias and one sided broadcasting of information is discussed in the documentary. This film is also an excellent bridge to the Iran-Contra 'CIA drug running,' the Persian Gulf War and America's foreign policies. Panama is not the only nation abused by the American Empire's policies... do the research if you really want to know what kind of nation you are supporting and the kind of nation you are being identified with. There is a reason why a large majority of the world hates America. But to the rest of the world... Propaganda and mis/disinformation campaigns coupled with illogical educational practices and materials in the federally funded school systems, reinforced with mass media's entanglement of socialization, strip and rob the people of the familial transmission of social standards and cultural knowledge. It could be argued that the US carefully teaches its young students what to think and not how to think through illogical testing practices, questionable teaching materials, and the students' age relevant to the materials/subject being taught, in public schools (federally funded schools). Because Americans have been let down and miseducated by their country, a large majority of parents do not teach their children to vote or to be politically aware and active ...

Weaving Life - Discovering the Story of Ecuador's "Panama Hat" This is a 30min documentary about the perhaps most famous and powerful hat in history. We are following the story and the people who are making the word's most famous straw hat - the Panama hat. In truth this hat has always been woven in Ecuador, a small Latin American country. The misnomer Panama hat has its origin from the times when the Panama canal was built and the hat was used by the workers to protect themselves from the sun. In Europe and North America the hat is sold for up to 10.000 Dollars, while the weavers in Ecuador earn a tenth or less of the selling price. Normally 200 Dollars a month. They can hardly feed their families while the hat is a symbol of status and authority in the First World. However, still today the hat plays an important part in Ecuador's history and culture. But the art of weaving the hat is dying out. The handicraft is bad paid and not interesting anymore for young people. I am following the Panama hat's trail across Ecuador. We get to know the people who are making the hat, how they live and what role the hat plays in their lives.

This is a great program that aired in Panama. Subject is about the country's hard-working Chinese citizens. I added English subtitles so more people can learn from this. I volunteered to do it because I was born and raised in Panama.
