   From my understanding, the producers do not impose a ``liberal'' view in
the film.
   In the study guide associated with the film, they present questions that
parents are supposed to go over with their kids. Most of the questions and
proposed solutions lean towards fortification and planning for disaster, as
opposed to seeking solutions to the basic problem: the existance of nuclear
weapons.
   The only way that this film could be construed as being liberal is in that
it does not pull the punches. It shows people what radiation sickness does to
you. It's not like the watered down little clips that the Army fed its own
soldiers and the general public during the '50s.

   I think it would be a big mistake to miss this movie.
