Conspiracy of Silence was produced by British Yorkshire Television and was scheduled to air nationwide in the U.S. on the Discovery Channel on May 3rd, 1994. Despite appearing in TV guides, the documentary was pulled at the last minute. Key politicians implicated in the scandal intimidated the Discovery Channel into canning the program and it was never shown in the U.S. The documentary team interviewed victims of the Franklin cover-up scandal and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Washington’s political elite had been involved in Larry King Jr.’s pedophile ring (Larry King Jr., not of CNN fame, was a high-profile GOP fundraiser at the time).

If you want to understand the real origins of the Mark Foley scandal and the rampant pedophilia within the GOP, this is a must-see documentary. This is a newly released higher quality version of the lone copy that was smuggled out after the Discovery Channel was ordered to destroy all known copies of the documentary.
