Brink Of Disaster

Length: 22 Minutes | Produced:1972

Brink of Disaster is a bombastic lambasting of any alternative American behavior and opinions that differ from conservative values. The specific target is 1960s student activism. During the opening credits, the film captures footage of actual riots, marches, and protests, including the march on the Pentagon and the protests at Lafayette Park. Juxtaposing these images with footage of the Berlin Wall and the invasion of Hungary, the narrator comments that protesters have been duped by the Commies into thinking that America needs to change. Using some startlingly revisionist history, the film moves into a fantasy walk through when characters are visited by Great Americans from the past like Ben Franklin. (There are some nice shots of Jerry Rubin and H. Rap Brown). These wise sages tell stories about America and what the country is really all about. Incredible for its vitriol and outrage, Brink of Disaster remains one of the most telling films produced by conservative America in response to the cultural revolution.

Red Chinese Battle Plan

Length: 25 Minutes | Produced:1964

Red Chinese Battle Plan is an anti-communist China propaganda film that contains powerful footage from China, Vietnam, Cuba, and more during the years 1921-64. It charts the rise of Mao and the Peoples Republic government, painting China, the Yellow Peril, as more of a threat to the U.S. than even the U.S.S.R. Scenes from China include the young Mao speaking to and leading communist revolutionaries, battles between the Nationalist army and communist guerrilla fighters, posters of Mao and Chiang Kai-shek, a show with dancers and balloons in Peking, Japanese planes bombing Shanghai, Chinese farm workers, starving Chinese peasants, and Chinese leaders signing deals with various world leaders such as Nikita Khrushchev. Though the film possesses an undeniably bombastic and jingoistic tone, it contains valuable documentation of this important time in the history of China.

Integration Report

Length: 20 Minutes | Produced:1960

A brilliant and stirring documentary, Integration Report takes a snapshot overview of the Civil Rights Movement in 1960. This film contains footage and vocals from some of the most important leaders including Martin Luther King Jr., Bayard Rustin, Jackie Robinson, and others. Maya Angelou provides a vocal as well. Marches, sit-ins, boycotts, rallies, the first marches in Montgomery, the reactions against police brutality in Brooklyn, are all preciously captured. In particular, protests of the disadvantages that African Americans faced in United States courts is tragically examined. The large role that young people played in the Civil Rights Movement is highlighted. A beautiful, understated film, Integration Report is a fascinating account of the heroic struggle made by civil rights leaders and activists
