CointelshowA Patriot Act

Welcome to the history of Americans spying on Americans

Cointelshow: A Patriot Act is a political satire about an FBI counterintelligence program (COINTELPRO) through which the organization sabotaged, disrupted, and repressed domestic groups like the Black Panther Party, the American Indian Movement and individuals like Dr. Martin Luther King and Fred Hampton. Using actual COINTELPRO artifacts and transcripts, creator/performer L.M. Bogard takes audiences behind the curtain of heavily-censored documents into the secrets that the U.S. government holds over its own people.

Join Special Agent Christian White on a cheerfully creepy, and often grimly funny, tour of the FBI’s notorious Counterintelligence Program.
