The Un-Americans (1): Five Minutes to Midnight (1992x12)

: 02, 1992

Shows how the Red Scare of the 1950s affected ordinary men and women in America, as they were forced to respond to questions about whether they belonged to the Communist Party. Archive footage paints a picture of suspicion and repression, very different from the saccharine images usually associated with the US in the 1950s.
