Description
This film demonstrates how the diplomatic and political blunders made in the wake of WWI led inexorably to World War II. Especially culpable are those complacent citizens of the USA who were led to believe that the problems of the rest of the world had no bearing on their lives. Throughout the film, the lies of fascism and totalitarinism are contrasted with the ideals of Democracy.
