The Dark Reflections of Power: Martin McDonagh's Uncomfortable Truths Martin McDonagh's latest film, Wild Horse Nine, premiered at the Venice Film Festival, casting a stark light on the CIA's actions.
For the Irish playwright and filmmaker, this isn't just about one rogue agency – it's about the very fabric of power and its consequences.
McDonagh's film is set against the backdrop of the 1973 US backed coup in Chile, a pivotal moment in modern history that has been largely glossed over by mainstream narratives.
