Netflix’s upcoming docuseries Wormwood mixes fiction and nonfiction to investigate a thicket of decades-long conspiracy theories around the CIA — and how one family may have paid the price for the agency’s secrets.
But to Errol Morris, its Oscar-winning director, Wormwood‘s key mystery is fairly simple.
“It’s a room,” he tells People of the six-part series, exclusively previewed above. “When you boil it all down, there’s a room in this hotel on Seventh Avenue in New York overlooking the old Penn Station. Just after Thanksgiving 1953, Frank Olson, an Army scientist, goes out a window 13 floors onto the pavement below.

A New York City couple is mourning the death of their 3-year-old son, whom they say died due to an allergic reaction after a pre-kindergarten employee allegedly fed him a grilled cheese sandwich.
Thomas and Dina Silvera say officials at the Seventh Avenue Center for Family Services in Manhattan knew their son, Elijah, had a dairy allergy when the employee fed him the sandwich, leading to his death, on Nov. 3.
“Something so simple could have been avoided if they would have just followed — and paid attention to my son’s needs,” Thomas told ABC News. “Elijah was strong. He was a fighter.
