A collage of Cold War imagery that is simultaneously hilarious and chilling.

Fear is the great motivator. It can make people do all sorts of crazy things. And from roughly 1945 through 1991, America was in a constant state of fear. The overwhelming fear of Communism compelled us as a Nation to do some really horrific things (The Black List) and it also made us do some really hilarious things (Duck & Cover Drills). It's comforting to think that this film is the past and we as a Nation have grown smarter, but then you take a look at post-911 America and realize nothing has changed. They say that, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Watch this movie and learn. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
