Uncovered | Unmasking the alleged torturer turned Bondi nanny | Part 1

About the episode

A CIA-backed coup. A hidden Australian connection. And a suburban nanny with a secret past. In Part 1 of Unmasking the alleged torturer turned Bondi nanny, Uruguayan-Australian journalist Florencia Melgar takes us inside her groundbreaking investigation, The Other 9/11, and how she uncovered the secret role Australian spies played in the Pinochet coup in Chile in 1973. What began as a deep dive into Cold War espionage led somewhere unexpected: to Bondi, and to a woman accused of being part of Chile's machinery of torture.
