In 1974, a journalist searches for the truth in a complex maze of lies and deceit. In 1980, an investigator finds himself increasingly at odds with the official line. And in 1983, a new disappearance raises disturbing questions about past crimes. (Each film plays twice. Fri & Sat shows in Loew, the Sunday Trilogy in Spaulding.
