Summary: Edward Wilson believes in America, and will sacrifice everything he loves to protect it.  But as one of the covert founders of the CIA, Edward's youthful idealism is slowly eroded by his growing suspicion of the people around him.  Everybody has secrets...but will Edward's destroy him?

The Good Shepherd details the birth of the CIA with the timeline cutting in and out intermittently that it is pretty confusing if the viewer is not totally focusing on the plot.  Beware that you may have to watch this movie more than once to understand the intricate ties of the events that lead to the forming of CIA...thus buy the DVD and enjoy.

Special Features: 16 minutes of deleted scenes
