Date: 30 Jun 2013 12:13:37

Recently unearthed propaganda films and grim archival photos reveal the hidden truth about the political system that has spread to all the continents of the world, affecting four generations of mankind over the past seven decades and standing in stark contrast to the principals of capitalism. Dubbed the "The Red Church" by some due to the near religious fervor displayed by some followers, Communism still stands as one of the most controversial political systems on the planet. By starting the story in 1917 and following through to 1999, filmmakers Patrick Rotman and Patrick Barbaris offer a comprehensive overview of the impact that Communism has had both at home and abroad.

Part 1: Utopia in Power (1917-1928)
This volume covers 1900 to 1928, a period which saw the death of Lenin, the creation of the KGB and the coming to power of Stalin.

Part 2: The Two Faces of Communism (1929-1939)
This episode includes Stalin's purge, Communism the defender of democracy, the great famine of the Ukraine and the Spanish civil war.

Part 3: The Peak Years (1940-1953)
This episode includes the defeat of Germany, the take over of Eastern Europe, the Korean War and the Cold War.

Part 4: End Without End (1953-1999)
This episode includes Stalin's death and Krushchev taking power, uprisings crushed in East Germany and Hungary, the propaganda of the space race, Castro taking over Cuba, Vietnam, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the unleashing of freedom, the remnants of a discredited philosophy.
