Introduction

Every year, the US government funds clandestine programmes collectively called the black budget. But what is exactly behind these secretive missions operating around the globe?

Outline

Behind the locked doors of the US government lies a shadowy world of classified projects termed The Black Files. It operates on an annual 90 billion dollar budget. Beyond military or classic defence, the funds go towards covert operations taking place in and outside US borders and involving domestic and foreign targets. Hosted by a veteran former CIA operative and utilising investigative journalists, specialised scientists and secret government sources, the programme reveals, for the first time, the details, technology, engineering and missions behind clandestine operations of the recent past, many of which continue today. In every hour-long episode the investigator will reveal the details behind one clandestine project. You will learn about specific operations, how the elite teams are trained and operate, what technology is used, where the bases are located, details of missions and much more as we open The Black Files.
