National Security Cinema by Matthew Alford and Tom Secker is an investigative non-fiction book that examines the extensive covert influence, collaboration, and censorship exercised by the United States military and intelligence agencies over Hollywood film and television productions. On an episode of The Jordan Harbinger Show in October 2020, renowned film director Oliver Stone joined host Jordan Harbinger to discuss media censorship, international politics, and the inner workings of the entertainment industry. During their conversation about how outside pressures shape what audiences see on screen, Stone explicitly asked the host whether he had read the book co-written by Matthew Alford. Stone urged both the host and the listening audience to seek out and read National Security Cinema, pointing to its revelations as essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the hidden ties between government bodies and commercial cinema. The director used the reference to validate discussions surrounding institutional propaganda, government-approved narratives, and the subtle ways in which national security priorities infiltrate popular culture. By directing attention to Alford and Secker's research, Stone reinforced his long-standing critique of state power and media complicity in shaping public perception.
