This is a disturbing, and perfectly-made short film of Clavell's deceptively-simple book. It was made in the early 80's, and shown on the television program, "Mobil Showcase".
The story is of a time when "they" have beaten us and taken over our country. "They" are different now than at the time the novel and the film were created, but "they" are still out there in one form or another.
The point is to give our young people the gift of conviction- a foundation for what they believe in and value about this great nation of ours, about God, and about themselves.
When we see how easily the New Teacher insinuates her pleasantly-delivered dogma upon a group of young children, it awakens an indignation that should not have been sleeping in the first place!
