The US built a secret nuclear city under ice and told Denmark it was just science. Oops.
Project Iceworm was the code name for a top-secret United States Army program during the Cold War to build a network of mobile nuclear missile launch sites under the Greenland ice sheet. The ultimate objective of placing medium-range missiles under the ice — close enough to strike targets within the Soviet Union — was kept secret from the Danish government. To study the feasibility of working under the ice, a highly publicized "cover" project, known as Camp Century.
Direction
Propaganda so polished it accidentally exposes the conspiracy.
Production
They really dug a city under ice for missiles. Unhinged.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 'documentary' was pure military propaganda. The Army filmed their own cover story, complete with wholesome scientists and zero mention of the 600 nuclear missiles planned underneath.
Camp Century inspired conspiracy theories for decades, but the wildest part was real: the US seriously proposed 2,100 miles of ice tunnels housing 600 Iceman missiles aimed at Moscow. Greenland said absolutely not.
