This documentary is a fascinating door back into time. The period is the late 50s and the film is about what led up to the launch of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik, and the resulting amazement and fear which reverberated in the United States when it was successfully launched. This documentary is filled with black and white and color images and it is an excellent reminder of the civil unrest which we faced in the United States at the time, as well as concern over potential nuclear bombs being unleashed. The documentary covers President Eisenhower and Russian leader Khrushchev and the cat and mouse game which went on for a time. We also are shown other famous leaders including Winston Churchill. This is a well-made documentary with historical importance and we gladly award our Dove Seal to this film.
