8x1 - Inside the FBI

November 1, 1998

The New York City office of the FBI is the nation s largest, employing some 1,200 agents working on everything from espionage to kidnapping, terrorism to drug busts. The people who work for the FBI are trained for silence, to not speak of their work with friends or even family. But here they talk, telling what it was like to dive on the wreckage of TWA Flight 800, to go undercover in the Mob, to foil terrorist plots. Hear from Harvey Weinstein, a kidnapping victim buried alive for 13 days who was saved with the help of FBI agents. See rare footage of FBI agents in the field and at the office. And, for the first time ever on film, go inside their top-secret command center. From the personal problems faced by the agents to the forces that are changing the Agency itself, this is a one-of-a-kind look at life inside the FBI today.
