"ARGO" Introduction by Jonna Mendez, CIA Chief of Disguise

Best Picture Oscar. Undercover in Iran. CIA Chief of Disguise…Intrigued? The Spy Museum hosted an in-person screening of #ARGO with an in-person introduction by Jonna Mendez, former CIA Chief of Disguise!
#ARGO a true story based on Jonna’s late husband, Tony Mendez’s “best worst idea.” Tony flew into Tehran, Iran at the height of the hostage crisis to help rescue six US diplomats from the Canadian Embassy, where they had taken refuge. The improbable cover story was that Tony was a producer for a science fiction movie named “Argo.” Tony is played by Ben Affleck in the Oscar-winning film.
And the rest, as they say, is…
This video is an inside look at the film and a post-screening Q&A with Jonna Mendez. Take a load off and come join us for what will be a delightful evening at the International Spy Museum.

Argo was a great movie. But how much richer would it have been to be in that room with everyone watching and getting inside info from Mrs. Mendez while you're watching it. That would have been a wonderful experience.

I am so grateful CIA declassified ARGO. This was such a great operation that really needed to be told. Tony risked it all to save them.

Disguise surveillance is quite the most difficult one to detect with an untrained eye. it has flaws so it can be detected but you will need to photograph them then superimpose the images.

I could watch Jonna speak every week!

Good Account - supported Tony from Ottawa.

Had a chance to meet the Stafford as a Marine in 2016-2017 in Niamey, Niger...what an awesome time for me!

[@GrahamReeves-hh8qh]

Imagine having Tony and Jonna Mendez for parents! How cool would THAT be?!

[@phincampbell1886]

I wish I was as cool as she is!

[@bertilhatt]

OK, all the spy stuff is fun, but when can we see Argo, the SciFi movie?

[@LeslieLanagan]

It's in turnaround.

[@tatianalyulkin410]

Did you know the Spy Museum has a gift shop?

[@Jahwobbly]

"chador" not "burka."

[@RikodiusRex]

Love you jhonna!!!

[@debbieb1482]

Read the book & then talked my sister into seeing the movie with me. At a point or two I had to say, hmm that didn't happen that way. I loved the book! And the movie. Thank you both & all involved for rescuing the hostages and telling us all about it.

[@sugieskincarechannel]

LOVE this movie! Can't stop watching!

[@nursen2106]

Woman prattle

[@YahushasDisciple]

How does someone purchase the rights to a movie that hasn't even been written about (novel hasn't been written yet)?.

[@federalagenciesarecourtesans]

These types of people pat themselves on the back they're full of themselves and they only support other people within their organization to keep the agency alive and get paid.

[@rjust2297]

Yes I think it's completely ridiculous how self-centered these pricks really are. Seriously I can't wait for the Chinese weather balloons to get into the museum 🖼️. Are they going right directly to the Smithsonian just like in raiders of the Lost? Don't ever ask Jonna for a date. Shelby the wind disguise as your waitress collecting the money 💰. LOL unphukinbelivuble 🤣🙏🧐🇺🇲🍀🥰 Puke civilian out.

[@violinhunter2]

You are quite right.
