Yeah, horribly conservative. I wouldn't suggest it if you want a serious and unbiased documentary on the subject.

Yeah, horribly conservative...

About what you'd expect from the Petroleum Broadcasting System with its Exxon-Mobile dollars bank rolling its programing. Disgusting.

Isn't this just a propoganda flick?

Why don't you watch ''The Bloody History of Communism'' whilst you're at it. :p

It's completely wrong and is arguing against a strawman

[☭The Revolution☭]

And my dad calls PBS liberal scum. LOL.

It is based on the book "Heaven on Earth: The rise and fall of Socialism" by Joshua Muravchik, a socialist turned neo-conservative and member of the American Enterprise Institute.

The passage about his socialist parents' disapproval of his book on his Wikipedia page is funny.
