Game of Pawns
2013 American docudrama short film
Game of Pawns: The Glenn Duffie Shriver Story is a 2013 American docudrama short film about the Glenn Duffie Shriver case. It was produced by Rocket Media Group,[1] in association with the Counter-Intelligence Unit of the FBI and released online in April 2014. One of the film's goals was to warn students of dangers in China.[2] It featured the actor Joshua Murray as Shriver.[3] Its runtime is 28 minutes.[1] It changes some elements of the story from the real-life scenario, as Shriver is portrayed as a student even though he had already graduated in real life by the time he began the espionage scheme, since the FBI wanted this as a video to warn American tertiary students studying abroad.
Daniel Golden, author of Spy Schools: How the CIA, FBI, and Foreign Intelligence Secretly Exploit America's Universities, described it as "partly propaganda".[1] The FBI wanted U.S. universities to show the film to students about to study abroad, but they largely chose not to do so.
