Attack on the Americas

This film asserts that the upheavals in Latin America and the actions of guerrilla forces in Nicaragua and El Salvador are directly linked to the expansion of Soviet-backed, Cuban-managed Marxist-Leninist dictatorships. It points to the growing Cubanization and militarization of the area as a severe threat to U.S. national security. Excerpts from President Reagan's speech before the Organization of American States are featured along with interviews with OAS Ambassador William Mittendorf II, former Sandinista rebel, Alfonso Robelo, U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick and General Wallace H. Nutting, U.S. Commander for Central and South America.
