The Communist Threat DVD

After World War 2, the ever-present threat of war with the Soviet Union loomed, while concerns over Communist ideology seeping its way into American society created a 'Red Scare' that reached hysterical heights. These three films were produced by the government to not only warn of the supposed dangers posed by the Communist Party, but also explain how this new threat originated.

THE CHALLENGE OF IDEAS (1961): Produced by the Department of Defense, this film explains the Cold War as a conflict of essential beliefs between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Featuring John Wayne.
