"They Killed the Spring - 1954: the CIA in Guatemala" On June 27, 1954, exactly 60 years ago, the US government organized a coup d'etat in Guatemala, overthrowing the democratically elected revolutionary government headed by Jacobo Árbenz.

This documentary produced by Caracol Producciones for TeleSUR tells the story of this hidden history.
