Through the Lens: The Man Nobody Knew

KUER 90.1 | By Doug Fabrizio
Published July 11, 2012 at 2:35 PM MDT

Thursday, Doug is back in the studio with the latest installment of our Through the Lens documentary series. Our guest is Carl Colby, whose latest film is about his father William Colby, spymaster and former head of the CIA. The film is Carl's search for an authentic portrait of his father, a man whose life was obscured even to those closest to him. It's part memoir, part history of the CIA. Really, it's about the costs of what a country does in secret.

RadioWest and the Utah Film Center will present a free screening of The Man Nobody Knew on Thursday, July 12 at 7:00 p.m. at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center in downtown Salt Lake City. For more information, here.
