The film also deals with the importance for fighting men to work together. There is a focus on racial tensions in the southern U.S. The narrator states: "To deal rationally with the problem of racial and religious intolerance and to stem its rising tide is becoming accepted as an obligation by Federal, State, and Local Government."
