Fletcher Prouty's Cold War

Fletcher Prouty was the real-life inspiration for “Man X”, unforgettably portrayed by Donald Sutherland in Oliver Stone’s 1991 film “JFK”. At the time of the film’s release, Prouty was a retired Air Force Colonel turned author and public speaker. Although not technically a whistleblower, Prouty had stories to tell of the hidden history of the Cold War - from its origins in postwar planning during WW2, to the rise of national security interests associated with the CIA in the 1950s, and through the controversies of the brief Kennedy administration. Utilizing Prouty's personal records, interviews, and historic archival materials, Fletcher Prouty's Cold War also features new interviews with Oliver Stone and Len Osanic describing Prouty’s involvement with the “JFK” film and his influence in a wider community of interest.

Director Biography

Jeff Carter, with Len Osanic, produced the online series 50 Reasons for 50 Years, which streamed weekly throughout 2013, and featured many of the top authors and researchers working with topics associated with the political assassinations of the 1960s. Fletcher Prouty’s Cold War follows from that production, with the advantage of Osanic’s personal relationship with the subject. Jeff Carter has also produced and directed music-based films (Inside Passage, Maiden East Van), shorts on celluloid (Strict Time), and a new feature on utopian theorist Charles Fourier (So Below).
