Abstract: It is obvious to even a casual observer of fourth-decade twentieth century living that much must be done—soon—if the democratic way of life is tò survive But the ideal has never been achieved; education, in its broadest sense, has failed; and Americans, instead of participating actively in their government, are falling into the terrifying complacency of letting others think for them. One of the educational answers to this crisis is the motion picture. Nontheatrical films represent perhaps the-last avenue of communication not already controlled by special interests; moreover, as an educational tool, film is simple, fast, universal, and democratically sound.
