We watched the DVD today, and I don't think either of said a word during the
play...we were so engrossed.
It is marvelous piece of history, showing the philosophical history of great
and good man. The US has had only a few great presidents and RR was
certainly one of them. He was unique in that he was a man of principle, but
he also had the power to implement those principles.
It has been my experience in life that usually those with the right answers
lack the power to implement them, and those who have the power usually have
few if any worthwhile answers.
A man of principle who did not wet his finger and hold it up the test the
political wind. The story showed that the Left can be depended on to be on
the wrong side of any question of politics, morality.
I don't think most Americans really understood what RR did for them, and I
fear that those who write history books will be unfair and biased in
general.
This is an excellent production in every way.

Congratulations on a superb documentary film; well done! Both my husband
and I were very impressed by the professional level, the historical
accuracy, and the philosophical integrity of the production.
My comments must be qualified by that fact that I am a professional
historian with 36 years of high school and college teaching experience in
the historical field which I have studied for more than half a decade, as
well as having lived through most of what was depicted.
You matched the power of the image, myths, and propaganda, with the great
power of TRUTH, powerfully and clearly presented. The historical
introduction was excellent as well as use of the archival historical
material subsequently presented to illustrate clearly the point under
consideration or the situation being described.
The film clearly showed Ronald Reagan for the man of character that he was;
principled, consistent and tenacious statesman rather than a politician. I
have never seen a more thorough cinematic depiction of a statesman.
The web site for IN THE FACE OF EVIL is exceedingly impressive and I have
sent it on to numerous friends and relatives internationally.
Again, a job well done, and many, many thanks.
Sincerely,
Barbara Reagan
I watch the movie once a week and I am so much stunned. At one point they
show the Georgian church as a token of religious freedom that was bestowed
to the captive nations within the Evil Empire.
Do you know that President Reagan is truly a Great Liberator as well? When I
was imprisoned by the KGB for writing to American citizens, my name was on
the list that he presented to Gorbachev and later my name was also listed
among those who were permitted to visit friends in the USA.
Thanks again and best wishes,

The movie was absolutely awesome!!! Well, done. I
try to get my hands on every documentary on Reagan that I can and was so
surprised at how different this documentary was. I show this video to all who
will watch. It was excellent.
Jeremy Glajch Windsor Ontario, Canada
This movie was one of the best I've seen in a long
time - and certainly the
best documentary I've seen in years! POWERFUL!!!!!
Inspiring! Sentimental.
And an amazingly chilling connection exists between
Reagan and Bush and the
fight they are waging on evil. Also - the female
narrator was superb.

Loved the movie. Wish I could make everyone watch
it.

Hello,
I purchased In the Face of Evil a few months ago and
I have watched it at least four times. Each viewing
inspires me as much as the first time. The
historical background, the succinct and staccato
narration, the relevant musical score and the
explanation of Reagan's tactical plan to dismantle
the Soviet Union are just awesome. The footage of
Reagan's eloquent speeches from the 1960s and 1970s
are essential to conveying that he had been writing
and thinking about his ideas for a long time. The
redundant themes about the beast's goal "Control of
the state and power as an end unto itself." and "The
beast had always hated the same things: religion, a
free press, intellectual inquiry and artistic
expression. Anything that elevated or empowered the
individual." These themes are terse, poignant and
blatantly candid. This is an "in your face" type of
movie - probably not for everyone, but I love it.
This movie will inspire me during the remainder of
my life. I urge you to create subsequent movies of
this caliber. I will write a very positive review
on Amazon.com and urge my friends and family to buy
it.
Thanks,
-Steve Coscia
We loved In the Face of Evil.
It fully lived up to our expectations and then some.
Bill & Gayle Horie
It was AWESOME. I loved it. I have now taken to
describing the (up until now unexplainable) need of
some people and groups to try and control our lives
... "The Beast." "The Beast" is radical liberalism,
Communism, fascism, and all of the like. The "we
know better than you" syndrome.
I always thought that "The Beast" could be
eliminated. I thought that eventually it would be
eliminated. After watching that film and seeing how
"The Beast" adapts, I have had a bit of a paradigm
shift. I now believe that "The Beast" can be knocked
down, it can be knocked out, but it can never be
killed. The object should be to knock "The Beast"
down and keep it down.
In word and then in deed ... President Reagan fought
"The Beast." He fought to knock it down. He fought
to keep it down. His fight made the world a safer
place. President Reagan's so weakend the "The Beast"
(and at a time when it was so powerful) that it took
years for it to get back up. What a great man. What
a great life. What a great legacy. What a great
film.
Thank you!
Brent Parrott
One of the best documentaries I have ever seen.
Inspiring, truly
inspiring...
John Villani
Its a great flick - I wish it was on tv so more
could see it. It chronicles
the evil up to the modern times and showing how
Reagan through just common
sense fought communism by not appeasing it. His
dream of watching the
Berlin Wall Fall WERE realized when everyone else
thought he was crazy. A
man so far ahead of his time. Several of his
speeches were included - which
as great - one speech he did in the '60's talked
about the how the Social
Security system was eventually going to go broke and
suggested that it
should be privatized. Sound familiar? I watch the
speeches over and over.
This is my favorite DVD of all the ones I have.
Matt Larson
In the Face of Evil was a wonderful
film!-it was not only
educational but it was first-rate, exceptional
quality. I have
recommended the film to family and friends and would
enthusiastically
support seeing more films like this in the future!
Thank you for your efforts in education America to
the truth!

Hello,
I watched the film In the Face of Evil after
having bought the movie from your website. I was
already a big Ronald Reagan fan before this film
came out, so when I found that there was going to be
no theatre playing the film near me, I waited until
your website offered the film on DVD. The entire
time I waited, I imagined what the movie would be
like watching it. Not even in my grandest of
imaginations that I conceived did I have something
so well done as this film. The depth of the stakes
at hand, the gripping, iron-like will of Ronald
Reagan, and the constant showing of how close we
were to unfathomable defeat is portrayed
magnificently throughout the entire film. The music
chosen was of superb choice, too, might I add.
Most documentaries make people want to fall
asleep. Michael Moore's documentary made people
laugh. In the Face of Evil, though, grabs hold of
your attention like an alligator grabs hold of its
prey, and doesn't let you go until well after the
film is done playing. In the Face of Evil causes
you to stop and reflect on things, not just for a
minute, but for the ages. It is a performance made
on par excellence, and it is an intellectual
cinematic masterpiece that clearly shows how deeply
in debt we are to President Reagan. It shows that
Reagan, unlike any other President of the Cold War,
was truly an outsider, one who did not stray from
his set course until the job was done, no matter how
humiliating, debased, poked fun of, or maligned he
was during that course. This film clearly shows
that when it comes to evil, there is no difference
between the Communists in the Kremlin, or the Nazis
in Berlin, or the Islamo-Fascists throughout the
Middle East. In the end, all have but one ultimate
goal- to crush those that are good, forever...
And also, the film show that, no matter how many
people evil has on its side, it only takes one man
with a straight heart and strong enough will to
defeat it.
Thank you for your film, as it is one that
should be seen by all those who wish to understand
why we fight now, why we fought then, and why there
are those who wish to defeat this new evil in the
form of terror.
Sincerely, Colin Bennett High School Student
Well I’d just like to say thank you for making that
movie. Although I am only 17 I learned a great deal
from watching it, and I went to see it the day it
came
out in Houston. The only things I would say about it
is that its looooong. But I wouldnt want you to
shorten it any because it is perfect the way it is,
and cutting anything out means someone would miss
something I didnt.
Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid - Ronald
Reagan
- James
I have shown it to one of my
classes,
and I would absolutely love to see more work like
it.
I learned much about Reagan, and even more about the
cold war, and how appeasement always fails. Most
importantly I realized that the terrorist enemy now
is not different mentally than the Nazis or the
Communist. And we cannot appease them like we did
HIlter or the Soviets.
James Williamson
I feel it's a shame I had to buy a copy of this
movie as opposed to seeing
it in a theater. I don't believe there was even one
theater in the Chicago
area where I reside that showed "In the Face of
Evil". This being in my opinion
a rather tragic statement about our society in
general when a film like
Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" played to overflow
crowds and a brilliant
documentary like "In the Face Of Evil" went
virtually unnoticed. Ronald Reagan will
go down in history as one of the truly great and
most influential leaders of
the twentieth century. This documentary very clearly
points out the harsh
realities of the Cold War and how Reagan more than
virtually any other person
so brilliantly helped bring an end to this sad
chapter in world history. Where
as Moore's "F 9/11" has been proven to be full of
patetic innuendo and
miscarriages of truth to fit his own political
agenda, "In The Face Of Evil" will
someday receive the attention it so rightfully
deserves as a well researched
and valuable guide illustrating what a truly
magnificent leader this nation
had with Ronald Regan as president. I strongly
recommend this film to
everyone regardless of their political point of
view. I further believe this film
makes for an excellent educational tool teachers can
show their students as
an honest and accurate portrayal of the "Cold War".
Sincerely,
John Brinkmann

Our family truly enjoyed watching 'In the Face of Evil'. Very powerful
and fascinating! Thank you for
promoting and defending the
Reagan legacy.

Brilliant documentary! I bought two copies and am spreading the word. Thanks!
Mark O'Brien
The film more than lived up to my expectations after
reading the book. My only regret is that the theater
debut received so little publicity where I live (in
Northern Virginia near Washington, DC). I took
nearly 50 people to it with me and we were virtually
the only ones in the theater. This movie should be
required viewing for any student of modern American
history. I recommend you advertise it at all
homeschooling conferences, like the one I am
attending this weekend in Winston-Salem, NC with my
daughter who honeschools all her six children.
Gary Kanady
I am a big fan of Reagan and this film just
solidified my position on him being the greatest
President of the 20th century and in the top 3 all
time (Washington, Lincoln/Reagan). I am telling
everyone I know about this film and encourage them
to buy it. Thanks for making this film and please
keep them coming!
Kelly Bolen
This was a great and inspiring movie. It was very
well produced and portrayed President Reagan for the person he really was: a man of conviction
Name Withheld
I learned more about Reagan, his administration, and strategy to win the "Cold War" from watching "In the face of evil". My admiration grew to a higher level
of appreciation and respect for him. He was already the
best President i had known in my lifetime (i was born
in 57') but after watching the film i realized he was
one of those rare leaders who comes along and has a
cataclysmic impact on history.
Thank you for making the movie. I hope that you can
afford to distribute a "wide release" of the movie at
some point in the future.

Last week, Betty and I had the good fortune to be invited to the Washington, DC Premiere of the IN THE FACE OF EVIL movie. Directed by Stephen K. Bannon, it's a documentary based on the book "Reagan's War" written by Peter Schweitzer. Important to us, the movie describes the history of our times and how our country prevailed in the twentieth century.
Of course, as indicated above it smacks strongly of how one man, namely Ronald Reagan faced up to the communist threat from the time he became President of the Screen Actors Guild through his terms as President of the United States.
Reinforced by KGB documents, the story is told how the Kremlin had respect for Reagan's absence of fear while disdaining weakness, accommodation and deal making. The movie tells how resolve of purpose, a determined strategy, standing up to threats, selfless dedication to freedom before self glory, and a belief in the Deity are some of the factors leading to victory. No doubt the man had flaws, but this is the story of how the cold war was won and the part that was played by one of the principal architects of the victory.
Regardless of political persuasion, I think you'll enjoy seeing the story unfold through many of the speeches of one of the great communicators in our time. Take some time out and go see it - it's powerful.

“IN THE FACE OF EVIL is brilliant. It is also thoroughly captivating and very moving. The movie clearly exposes the evils behind the totalitarian regimes of Adolph Hitler and the Communists in the Soviet Union, Cuba and Latin America. It also gives a wonderful exposition of President Reagan’s character, including his strong faith in God, and shows the importance that Christianity played in helping the United States to defeat the Soviet Union.
“Unlike many recent left-wing documentaries, the movie uses many hard facts to support its case. It is must-see history. . . . It is also very entertaining. Don’t let this year go by without seeing this movie. In fact, you might not want to cast a vote in the upcoming presidential election without seeing IN THE FACE OF EVIL.”

“ A powerful portrayal of a critical point in history that exposes the intensity of
the struggle against communism and President Reagan’s campaign for victory.
As someone who had lived these times, I was very moved by the detail and
emotion in which they were brought out on film. The lessons of our struggle
against the evil empire are more relevant than ever in regards to the conflict
of today’s world.”
- Lech Walesa, Nobel Laureate and former President of Poland
"In the Face of Evil" is an extraordinary documentary which everyone who
considers himself a patriot and cares about America's future should see.
It will give you a greater appreciation for leaders who stand firm for
what they believe, have strong convictions about right and wrong, and
refuse to compromise with evil."
Penny Woods , Josh McDowell Ministry
"Revealing truths, disturbing facts, defining and fascinating metaphores, and
extremely compelling. I left satisfied, feeling that the truth had finally
been told and wanting more. A must see only for the open-minded who can handle the truth. What a novel idea - reveal history as it ACTUALLY happened !"
