Paranoid right-wing oddity
Baroque6 August 2019
Presented as a dead pan documentary, this film attempts to link the then-current Civil Rights movement in the USA to a supposed Communist-led global conspiracy. The film even hints to the establishment of a "Soviet Negro Republic" within the USA. While the film could today be dismissed as a work of nationalist and racist paranoia, viewers should be warned that the film has copious use of disturbingly graphic photos of murder and torture victims from other countries. I gave it 3 out of 10 stars because it can't be considered a "so bad it's good" camp film. It's simply a footnote from a disturbing era of history.

As timely today as 55 years ago

We're conditioned to think stuff like this is delusional 50s right wing stuff. But it tells a story that is as relevant today as it was back in 1965. Chinese Communists are out to defeat us in stealth fashion, they are just much closer to their goal than in 1965. They can just laugh at us now for being so brainwashed that we laugh that off as ridiculous, when it's not.It's a deadly reality, says coronavirus. The internal dissension part of story, particularly leveraging the US racial divide, is as if it was written by current events reporter.For those rare enough to open their mind and listen, you might be surprised at what you see and hear.

Ominous Message - Playbook of Radical Democrats 2020
dijuandorsey-8690228 October 2020
This film describes in detail the methods, tactics, and ruthless techniques used by socialist powers to destroy Democratic and Capitalist Republics governments. It describes to a "T" the current events happening in the United States of American present day 2020 - even though the film was produced in 1966. After viewing this film, any viewer residing in the USA today will understand the current deceptions and trickery being waged against the American people by the mainstream media, social media, and other instigators (many too powerful to be named in this review.). This is one of the few films to really lay out the demise and hardships to follow in our beloved United States of America. May God Help Us.

The story of today told 55 years ago

It's shocking how much of this applies to what is happening in the U.S. today. I wish my kids would watch these old documentaries, but they won't.
