Crisis in Morality (1962)
Comparison - USA (1962) to the Fall of the Roman Empire.

Ironic, thought provoking, and uncanny, this great black and white period-piece reviews the childhood era of the baby-boomers. The writers of this social documentary portray the role of religious thinking in the USA, in contrast with the massive tidal-wave of post-modern thinking and behaviour after the cold war. The film explores the frightening increase of negative consequences to the break-down of the nuclear family, and concludes with the rise of crime in America. The filmmakers also suggest an antidote to the problem of this rampant moral anarchy they portray - and urge society's return to spiritual practises to regain social sanity. The movie's charm comes from its simple naivety, compared to the reality of 2013.
