Based on true events, The Other American is the story of Stan Glickman, a promising American art student ensnared in one of the darkest chapters of the Cold War. One night in a Paris café, after a political debate with an American tourist, Stan spirals into a mysterious mental breakdown. His life is shattered; he never paints again. Twenty-five years later, he discovers why: The tourist was a CIA operative and the drink he bought Stan was laced with a mega-dose of LSD. When Stan realizes he was an unwitting subject in a secret CIA experiment in mind control, he is determined to track down the man who poisoned him and hold him accountable. But The Other American is about much more than one man’s quest for justice—it is also about the high human price we pay when we allow our government to reduce its citizens—or any individual—to some expendable “other.”
