For those of you who like getting your information about mad rumours - such as MK Ultra and the men who stare at goats - straight from a reliable source, this documentary is a must. A rare attempt to find solid proof that supernatural abilities were studied and deployed by the US military, this investigation manages to dig up some fascinating dirt and bona fide evidence of the uncanny; for instance, the psychic Prudence, accurately predicts that London will be the target of a major attack in the next 18 months (the series was released at the end of 2004, less than 18 months before the 7/7 suicide attacks). She impressively details the last moments of life of a man who was "suicided" by the CIA, too. Watch it for yourself and feel some scepticism slip away.
While it's a good study of this phenomenon, it suffers for its poor editing. Numerous, long television segments are included that are watching-paint-dry dull and add nothing to the story; these are seemingly only included to stretch out the story, or add some sort of nostalgic or cinematic element to an otherwise sober investigation. I found these segments only made the piece seem more dumbed down and wondered what they were thinking. At other times, interviews go on for too long or include irrelevant facts. These points could have been fixed by someone with a sharp eye. But, there's some gold here for seekers after paranormal truths.
