The KGB Connections: An Investigation Into Soviet Operatives in North America

A 1970s documentary concerning the subversive activities of Soviet and communist KGB agents, operatives and spies within the United States over the past several decades.

There is a brief interview with Larry Grathwohl and some Bill Ayers footage, with a bit of background on the Weather Underground. Additionally, there is a rare interview with KBG defector Yuri Bezmenov (a.k.a. Tomas Schuman). Of note is the congressional testimony of ex-communist Elizabeth Bentley discussing her cover as a “conservative”.
