DESCRIPTION:Last year Peace Action of San Mateo County offered "The Bomb", Part 3 of 
 Academy Award-winning writer/director Oliver Stone's widely acclaimed 
 Untold History of the United States. We are following up that showing with 
 another free screening of Part 5: "Eisenhower, The Bomb and The Third 
 World". This will take place on Sunday, May 31, 7 PM at the Unitarian 
 Universalists of San Mateo, 300 E. Santa Inez Avenue in San Mateo. 
 Admission is free, contributions will be welcome. The episode lasts about 
 an hour. The UUSM is wheelchair accessible.\n\nIn this episode, Stone 
 focuses on the 1950's and an interesting take on the Cold War. We will get 
 a look at how our relationship with the then-Soviet Union deteriorated 
 despite a joint effort to win World War II and the death of Soviet dictator 
 Joseph Stalin. Nuclear weapons have another starring role in Part 5 as the 
 U.S. develops the hydrogen bomb - among other ways of rearming itself. 
 American hegemony plays out in Korea and the Third World, and McCarthyism 
 rears its head while claiming some political victims. All of this takes 
 place on the watch of President Dwight Eisenhower - the political focus of 
 this segment.\n\nThis is just one of 10 original episodes and two 
 subsequent "prologues" created by Stone, who in the spirit of the late 
 historian Howard Zinn set out to create a documentary series that would 
 show our country's story from a more honest and frank perspective than most 
 of us were offered in school.\n\nAs always, we will follow up the screening 
 with an open discussion about the parallels between those times and 
 these.\nCome join us on the 31st for an illuminating night - courtesy of 
 Oliver Stone and PASMC.\n
