Author's Note: This Five Star Rating is NOT because I agree with the contents of this propaganda film, HOWEVER... it is important as an educational tool. Especially for children and young adults. All that glitters is NOT gold.

There is nothing more this reviewer can add to the above comments of Barclift and Hughes.
