The above video is a documentary about all the different aspects of the McCarthary hearings and everything that went into making the hearings so wide spread in the culture of the United States. I found it very interesting that this occured right around the time when televisions became more commmon so the average household could watch the hearings on tv. While I don't agree with how McCarthary went about dealing with the problem of communists in the government, I believe it had to be done somehow and didn't need to include people from Hollywood. Overall, this video was very interesting and taught me a lot I didn't already know about the hearings.
I had not seen this video before. What a terrific student project. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. It is certainly worth the time to watch it.
