I first saw this afterschool special when I was 16 and have used it in my own social studies classroom. It's a powerful document that needs to be watched by every racist Trumpster out there. It happens just this easily.

Thanks for posting this, Cal!
I'd never seen it until now. Powerful stuff, even 30+ years later...
I like to think I would've been part of "the Resistance" but who am I kidding?
Like most people, I would've been swept up by the Wave.
Feel so bad for the outcast at the end, though...
It's true: the marginalised and downtrodden are the quickest to embrace facism...
Sobering as hell.
Yup, really makes it's point though. People needed to feel bad. Like that kid who basically was a Brownshirt. It's scary how it gve his life purpose and a strong identity in the service of evil. It's incidious that to feel worthwhile had to come at the cost of other people's lives.
