Typically, the CIA is all about black ops, classified information and secrecy.
But here's something POLITICO has uncovered: Late last month, the CIA and the National Counterterrorism Center hosted a joint screening of the documentary Countdown to Zero, a Participant Media flick about the escalating nuclear arms crisis.
The audience was standing-room only and incuded more than 500 people, including high-level agency reps and analysts who follow nuclear terrorism and counterproliferation issues from the CIA and NCTC.
After the screening, Jeff Skoll, the founder of Participant Media and the film's producer, held a Q-and-A session.
The film has made the Beltway rounds. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) held a screening of the flick and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also screened the film while traveling back from Mexico.
