Edward Griffin and presented by the conservative John Birch Society. A piece of pure propaganda, the film claims that the Civil Rights Movement and protests of the 1960s are part of a worldwide communist revolution that will lead to the creation of a communist African American state. The film uses photos and clips from the Civil Rights Movement as its evidence of the Movement trying to gain sympathy from the public for its cause.
