Ključna beseda Political Repression

Slovita knjižna uspešnica Raya Bradburyja v režiji Françoisa Truffauta opisuje ameriško družbo prihodnosti, ki se vdaja hedonizmu in v kateri sta samostojno mišljenje ter kritična presoja nezaželena. Tiranski režim obvladuje javno mnenje tako, da prepove branje in posedovanje knjig; kogar ujamejo pri branju, je v najboljšem primeru zaprt v umobolnico. Skupina požigalskih gasilcev je zadolžena za uničenje vsakršne literature: 451 °F (232 °C) je temperatura, ob kateri se papir spontano vžge. Pripoved se vrti okrog gasilca Guya Montaga, ki začne kljub prepovedim zbirati in brati knjige, to pa v njem vzbudi dvome o smiselnosti take družbene ureditve. Kmalu spozna nekatere somišljenike in se celo zaljubi v članico odporniškega gibanja pristašev knjig, vendar ob tem pade v nemilost na delovnem mestu in pri oblasteh, ki izkoriščajo položaj za udobno vladanje z represijo.

Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) was a mediocre who rose to power because of the blindness and ignorance of the Germans, who believed he was nothing more than an eccentric dreamer.

As the dictatorship extended its relentless shadow, the leader claimed peace, but was preparing the Apocalypse.

The True Believers is a 1988 Australian mini series which looks at the history of the Australian Labor Party from the end of World War Two up to the Australian Labor Party split of 1955. It was co-written by Bob Ellis who focused on three characters "Chifley, the unlettered man of great dignity; Menzies, who used to stand for something but eventually stood only for Menzies; and Evatt, the grand idealist... It's almost like Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1. It's a chunk of national history during Australia's great era of change after the war."
