Movie Description Created by some of the leading production houses of the time, the historic films in this collection are symptomatic of the fear and paranoia that was part of Cold War-era America. Aimed at spreading fear of the Soviet Union and the communist regime to its 1950s audiences, films like "Secure the Blessings," "What You Should Know About Biological Warfare," and "The Challenge of Ideas" went to great lengths to prove capitalism and democracy's worth over other types of government. While America is portrayed as a place that values democracy, freedom, and good citizenship, the films here suggest that if the communist spread is not stopped, these privileges may cease to exist.
