“In a modern world driven by information, instant messaging and social media, we have much to learn from The Man Who Knew Too Much. Disinformation and psychological operations may be easier to deploy today than they were half a century ago.” Ciaran McAirt – Paper Trail Legacy Archive Research (www.papertrail.pro)
“Colin Wallace’s chilling testimony makes for compulsive viewing.” Veterans for Peace UK have published a review by David Collins. https://vfpuk.org/2021/05/25/review-of-the-film-the-man-who-knew-too-much/
“The lengths to which MI5, MI6 and the psyops warriors of the British military will go to suppress the truth about their dirty tricks in Ireland is astonishingly well told in this marvellous new film. Hairs on the back of my neck were standing up and I was concerned that MI5 might knock imminently!” Professor David Miller, University of Bristol, @Spinwatch
In conjunction with the release of this film, Colin Wallace has announced legal action against the British Ministry of Defence.
