Reagan Documentary: In the Face of Evil

On this day, which would have been Ronald Reagan's birthday, I chose to watch a new film about Reagan's role in the fall of communism called "In The Face Of Evil". This film is gripping, powerful, sobering and inspiring. I found it sobering because it begins with the history of modern communism including the 12 million slave laborers under Stalin, the horrific atrocities committed for generations in Russia and Eastern Europe, the construction of the Berlin Wall and the expansion and establishment of the USSR as a Super Power with military strength far beyond that of the United States. The Soviets had detailed plans for a global nuclear war (a first strike) that involved the invasion of Europe and the bombing of the United States. Signs were even prepared to rename famous streets in Paris after communist leaders. Anyone who was never taught the horrors of communism or has forgotten them needs to see this movie. Those darker days were not that long ago.

The film is inspiring because it showed Reagan's conviction and consistent courageous efforts through-out his long political career against the "evil empire" he would eventually beat. His intoleration of tyrannical governments began long before his election as governor of California and only accelerated after he was shot shortly after being elected President at age 70.

In the Face of Evil details Reagan's plans to bring down the Soviet Empire with film footage not previously seen.

The struggle, Reagan believed, was not about two differing political ideologies but was fundamentally one of core beliefs and values centering on faith in the Creator, God. While he worked to bring free and independent voices to the citizens of the Soviet empire through the airwaves, the USSR sent infiltrators through-out the United States. We now know which message was stronger.

Reagan utilized economic warfare, rejected trade agreements and led Europe in bringing effective and change catalyzing financial pressure against the USSR. He accelerated and built a military that caused the Soviets, according to an ex-KGB General, to realize the futility of challenging the United States.

The culmination of Reagan's efforts, the avoidance of nuclear war, the collapse of the Soviet Empire and the destruction of the Berlin Wall, were remarkable events in the history of the world that are dramatically captured and documented in the film.

There is significantly more to this film. It is phenomenal. In fact, I'm helping to promote it and have provided the following additional information for your use. I'll donate any proceeds I receive from your orders to charity. I have in mind a ministry that was active in the USSR when reading the Bible was illegal and resulted in prison - or worse. The mission is now working to help rebuild the society that is still bruised from years of communist domination.

Dallas, TX – (October 3, 2004) In The Face Of Evil: Reagan’s War in Word and Deed, a controversial look at Reagan’s victory over Communism within the context of mankind’s continual fight against evil, including the current war against Islamic fascism, broke box-office records for a documentary by an independent, at its opening weekend on six screens in the Dallas area, averaging more than $9,000 per screen. In contrast, the opening weekend for George Butler’s much-anticipated biopic on John Kerry, Going Up River, did less than one-tenth of that amount, - approx. $900 per screen - on its weekend rollout.

In The Face of Evil, is based on Peter Schweizer’s acclaimed best-seller Reagan’s War: The Epic Story of His Forty Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism. Schweizer’s book is widely credited with cementing the understanding that President Reagan achieved the final victory over communism through direct confrontation with the enemy.
