Synopsis
The Man Who Knew Too Much is a documentary film by Michael Oswald about Colin Wallace, a former Senior Information Officer at the Ministry of Defence, UK. As part of his work Colin Wallace spread fake news, created a witchcraft scare, smeared politicians and attempted to divide and create conflict amongst communities, organisations and individuals. Colin Wallace fell out with sections of the British intelligence community, he was framed for a murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison. 15 years after his conviction the sentence was quashed on appeal after the coroner admitted his report had been influenced by a member of the intelligence community. The Man Who Knew Too Much is a unique and in-depth look at the smoke and mirrors world of intelligence and psychological warfare through the eyes of a man who stood proudly at the centre of that world.
