Mandy Patinkin narrating 'Spymasters' documentary

Homeland star Mandy Patinkin will narrate The Spymasters, a Showtime documentary about the clandestine agents who work for the Central Intelligence Agency.

The program is to premiere Nov. 28 under the Sho: Close Up banner.

"For the first time ever, all 12 living directors of the CIA, and the agency's top operatives, have given remarkable, introspective interviews and unprecedented access to America's spy network," the cable television network said in a news release.

"The film focuses on the organization during one of the most controversial periods in its history – marked by the use of torture, secret prisons, undeclared war, lethal drone warfare and even an alleged assassination. It asks the burning questions of our time: How far should America go to keep us safe from another terrorist attack? What is considered fair game? Has the world's elite spying organization focused on paramilitary operations at the expense of gathering intelligence? Killing enemy combatants from the air by remotely piloted aircrafts? Targeting American citizens? And as the CIA's deadly drones wage a remote-controlled aerial war, are we losing moral high ground and creating more enemies than we kill? The film will examine the internal debate among the directors about what is ethical and how America should fight to protect its own citizens."
