Product Information
One of the most important political documentaries ever made, POINT OF ORDER chronicles the Army-McCarthy hearings of 1954. Radical documentarian Emile de Antonio assembled the film from over 150 hours of footage into a tightly constructed examination of political maneuvering. The hearings took place after Sen. Joseph McCarthy's investigations into communist infiltration of the military overstepped its bounds, and McCarthy began indiscriminately accusing members of the army of communist sympathies. What resulted was McCarthy's eventual censure and the end of his political career. De Antonio presents the footage without commentary or narration, allowing the film and the event's participants speak for themselves, and for McCarthy to damn himself.Product Identifiers
