Famous Civil Defense film for children in which Bert the Turtle shows what to do in case of atomic attack. Pretty much useless advice, and I'm sure it terrified a lot of the kids, perhaps scarring some of them for life.

what's happening here at the end?

If God is so good, why is the world so bad? 2 reasons...

Thoughtfully made advertising sales promo film extolling 1950s suburbanites as citizens and consumers.

Studio One : The Night America Trembled - October 30th, 1938 - The War of the Worlds broadcast is re-told in dramatic fashion. It is interesting to note that Orson Welles name is pretty much left out of this re-telling. Still, a fascinating look into the effects that night had on the average American citizen. Also, look for a very young Warren Beatty playing cards.

We Interrupt This Empire... (2003, DV, 52:17) is a collaborative work by many of the Bay Area independent video activists which documents the direct actions that shut down the financial district of San Francisco in the weeks following the United States invasion of Iraq. With the audio backdrop including live broadcasts of Enemy Combatant Radio from the San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center, the documentary takes a look at the diverse show of resistance from the streets of San Francisco as well as providing a critique of the corporate media coverage of the war and exploring such issues as the Military Industrial Complex, attack on civil liberties, and the United States current imperialist drive. The Video Activist Network (VAN) is an informal association of activists and politically conscious artists using video to support social, economic and environmental justice campaigns. http://videoactivism.org/empire.html empire@videoactivism.org

"Prelude to War," Chapter I of Frank Capra's "Why We Fight" series, describes World War II as a battle between the "slave world" of fascism and the "free world" of American liberty. In the "slave world," the entire populations of Germany, Italy and Japan have been hoodwinked by madmen, opportunists who capitalized on their people's desperation and weakness to rise to power. These demagogues promised revenge for past losses, and in the process convinced their people to give up their rights and accept dictatorship. In the "free world," the principles of equality, freedom, and liberty characterize the greatest leaders, embodied in the works and words of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln. This freedom is a threat to the fascist dictators of the Axis powers, who claim that democracy is weak and must be eradicated. The film claims that the ultimate goal of the Axis powers is to enslave the nations of the "free world," a desire made manifest in the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and Mussolini's destruction of Ethiopia.
