Description:
Two time award winner for Best Documentary of 2004, In the Face of Evil: Reagan's War in Word and Deed is about a man and nation's courageous journey through the heart of darkness and how that journey inspires us today. This film is not a traditional biopic of Ronald Reagan, but a hard-hitting exploration of leadership and moral courage. Based on Reagan's War, Peter Schweizer's acclaimed bestseller, In the Face of Evil, pits the brutality of totalitarian communism against Reagan s inflexible passion to see freedom s light shine on all the people of the world. The film s timeless lessons inspire us as a call to action. Ronald Reagan s legacy gives us courage to stand tall despite our enemy s harshest aggressions and to never waver in the face of evil.

Great compilation ((Watched it on my laptop travelling in Germany))Oct 05, 2008 I watched this DVD on my laptop while traveling across Germany (Coming back from visiting Berlin) and there I realized the grand impact of Pres. Reagan on world's affairs and how he really changed the world. This show really doesn't do him justice but well it is better than nothing. It's full of good and revealing interviews with those involved and tells a great story of a very ordinary man who hated the Commies and did his best to bring their evil empire down. His efforts in doing so are captured in this great DVD. And at the end I should say that I miss President Reagan.
Well done!!!Jul 28, 2008 Splendid overview of Ronald Reagan's life-long battle with communism. I've given this copy to several of my younger friends who didn't have the priviledge to know Reagan as president.
Wonderful story but not well toldApr 14, 2008 I am a Reagan fan who is always on the lookout for good DVDs and books about his influence. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by "In the Face of Evil." First, it tries to cover way too much, rushing through a summary of the entire 20th century. For a two-hour documentary, it would have been wiser to start in the 1970s or 80s rather than try to cover everyone from Lenin to Hitler to Osama bin Laden. Second, it divides the story into parts introduced by big black screens with "WORD" or "DEED" in huge letters. I wasn't sure what the purpose of this was. They were trying to make some kind of meaningful distinction between Reagan's words and his deeds, but I never understood why this was so important. It just seemed as though the story was interrupted by these puzzling announcements. Third, the tone of the documentary was a little self-righteous. Yes, I believe that there is good and evil, but I don't need to be beaten over the head with it. The material at the end about Osama bin Laden seemed especially gratuitous. For a much better treatment of similar material, see the three-part video series "Commanding Heights," especially part two, which tells the story of the downfall of communism.
Admiration of a Man Whom Dedicated His Life for LibertyMar 23, 2008 In the Face of Evil - Reagan's War in Word and Deed - This is a "masterpiece production of events in the past century and the man who dedicated his life to the pursuit of liberty for millions around the world. American's should see this and learn how blessed they were to live in a Country and a time of such a patriot and his valiant fight for Americans and those enslaved to communism! This movie should be a requirement to be viewed and discussed before a High School Student can receive a diploma.

A Good Movie Can Be Propaganda.Feb 23, 2008 I found this documentary to be very moving and very informative. I whole heartedly recommend it to everyone. However, I admit that it is a one-sided piece of "propaganda." Whenever a person believes in something they are naturally going to be biased. I believe that it is often better to simply go with being biased than to create a phony attempt at being balanced. The most insidious propaganda is when someone makes such a film and believes that they are unbiased when in reality their work is slanted in a subtle manner. The best way for any intelligent person to see all sides of an issue is to read or view the work of people who come at the issue from all the different sides. Basically, if you subscribe to The Nation, and you want to be open minded, subscribe to National Review as well.
