Transcript

The story of the first black agent in the CIA. Raise your right hand and repeat after me. For five years he was their token Negro. He kept his cool and let himself be used. And in return they taught him how to spy, how to fight, and how to kill.

For five years he was the spook who sat by the door. And then he turned the American dream into a nightmare. This is not about hate white folks. It's about loving freedom enough to die or kill for it if necessary.

Thus spoke who sat by the door. Rated PG. Parental guidance suggested.
