excellent performance by anne bancroft and natasha richardson fail to rescue this syrupy and predictable propaganda film . it every bit a exploitive in it own way a the propaganda film the nazi once make . they too be well act and brilliantly produce but be make to sell a political message rather than entertain . this film message may be very different but the technique and the one perfect by dr. goebbels and be the same . like exodus and it be not a story so much a a political manifesto . maybe that should be the occasional role of film but frankly i be tire of have guilt trip lay on me every few month . it particularly embarrass that all the american flag waving and do ad nauseam in the second episode and be create by canadian . ( the film be shoot in and around toronto and be in part canadian finance . ) .
