Yep, free DVD cases are getting hard to come by since AOL doesnt send them out so much anymore.

Just heard a story about this film on NPR. Good timing, as it is showing on HBO tonight!

Thanks OP for the heads up, but I'm wondering if this is an actual story or an excuse to deliver tons of advertising for leftist points of view? Guess I'll find out soon enough.

Me too. I think this is a repost from a while ago, but haven't bothered to search for it.

This dvd is not worth watching, it is all about some nuclear war heads being stripped to make a dirty bomb or something, but the movie abruptly ends and doesn't bother to have a conclusion.

Since when was being concerned about unsecured nuclear materials a "leftist: point of view? Did this happen around the same time that the "conservatives" in power lost all interest interest in fiscal responsibility and turned into a no-tax and spend klepocracy?

Pointing out that the US is incredibly vunerable to a terrorist nuclear attack and that the current administration is generally incompetent when it comes to national security (for example, ignoring the "Bin Laden Determined to Attack in US" memo while obsessing about building a new Star Wars missile defense system) sounds more like common sense than "leftist" propaganda.

Alas, this is a discussion that would be better finished in P and N.

I was afraid that it might deliver a ton of Right Wing rhetoric.
But at least I didn't snarl from the left wing like batman.

I still haven't gotten around to watching it, but before people continue to prejudge it's potical slant (if any) beforehand, with absolutely no evidence, a quick review of the dust jacket and official website reveal the following:

-positive endorsement ("fictional but not fanciful") from financier Warren Buffett, a nonpolitical straight shooter in most people's opinions,

-endorsements from both the chair and vice-chair of the 9/11 Commission,

-endorsements from both Senator Richard Lugar (R) and Sam Nunn (D), both of whom are usually accorded some respect as not being party hacks. I think, but am not sure, that one or both these Senators are either in the movie or the discussion segment afterwards.

We have all been turned somewhat cynical by the blatantly partisan rhetoric that comes from both the Washington administration and many of it's opposition, but it is still possible to really discuss and analyze critical social and political issues in a meaningful way.

You are absolutely correct.
Politics should have nothing to do with preventing Al-Qa?ida from becoming a nuclear power.

Did anyone actually get their copy of this movie? I received an e-mail, but no movie so far.

I recieved the DVD a few months back, invited my friend over, and was sorely disappointed. The terrorists get hold of a nuke, and are bringing it to America, and then bleh it just ends with a little message about nukes being lost or something. I was mad that I wasted 45 minutes of my time watching it.

I ordered this thing months ago using a throw-away e-mail address. Never received the DVD, but I have received unbelievable amounts of spam. The e-mail address I used has never been used for any other purpose.

Beware of this, just a heads-up guys.

I used my own email address I think. It has been months since seeing this post and I still haven't received it.
This is like waiting for a rebate check.
I have had no problems with spam.
