Allen Dulles: The Man Who Built America's Shadow Empire

Allen Dulles was never elected, but few people shaped modern American power more than he did. This documentary explores how one man helped build a global “shadow empire” through diplomacy, wartime intelligence, and the CIA—quietly reshaping U.S. foreign policy and the world.

From his elite family upbringing and Wall Street connections to his clandestine work in World War II Bern, we trace how Dulles mastered covert influence. See how he turned the CIA into an instrument of regime change and political warfare—engineering coups in Iran and Guatemala, backing secret operations across the globe, and pushing the logic of extremes from assassination plots to the Bay of Pigs.

Calmly told and carefully researched, this sleep‑friendly history documentary offers a deep dive into the hidden side of American power: how covert interventions abroad affected democracy at home, and why the legacy of Allen Dulles still shapes U.S. policy today.
