The Red Nightmare documentary

1. In the beginning of the film, it appears to be an ordinary American small town, but where is it? (Between 1:00 and 2:30).       
It is not really an ordinary American small town, but really it is really a symbol for Russian trechory.
2. What is the father's (Jerry) attitude toward his responsibilities, such as attending a Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTA) and going to Army Reserve training (6:20)?     
The father's attitude towards his responsibilities is that he doesn's seem to want to go (although him and his wife know that he should); he makes up excuses to not go, but says he'll "go next week"
3. According to the film, if all people had the attitude that Jerry has, what is the Red Nightmare? (To answer this question, what does Jerry witness or experience in a Communist America at the:

• Town Square
• His Daughter's depature (note the soldier is her boyfriend, Bill)
• the PTA
• His job
• His younger children's' education    
• and at the church     

If all people had the attitude Jerry had, then the red nightmare would be communism for America. Basically, all situations noted above, had changed from America's freedom to crazily enforced rules, the daughter left the home because she had been influenced by communism, he wasn't allowed to have a lunch break because the quota wasn't met at the time, etc.
4. What is Jerry's experience like at trial?     
Jerry's experience at trial  is very different from an average American trial. He does not know what he's being accused of, he is guilty until proven innocent instead of innocent until proven guilty, and he has to defend himself. The state needs no proof in order for him to be found guilty.
 5. Consider this film in the context of the Red Square Era. If you were a high school student 50 years ago, how would you have reacted to this film in a history class?

If i had seen this film in history class 50 years ago, obviously i would;ve felt much mroe fearful of losing my freedom, in addition, i feel like i probably would've done much more to protect my freedom as well as keep communism away as best as possible.
