For college students, getting information is an important part of life. In China, students are turning to anti-censorship software to find information they’re usually not able to access under the Chinese regime’s censorship system.
College education is a time for learning. But in China, most students are restricted in what they’re allowed to know under the Chinese regime’s censorship system.

This film warns that Americans will lose their country if they let themselves be turned into “suckers” by the forces of fanaticism and hatred. This thesis is rendered more powerful by the ever-present example of Nazi Germany, whose capsule history is dramatized as part of this film.
