After Grierson secretly arranges for the film to fall into the hands of the Nazis, Hitler orders that Canadian prisoners of war in German camps be treated according to the Geneva Convention. Grierson contends that propaganda contains just enough truth that people hear what they want to hear.Language:EnglishGenre:DRAMADetailed holdings information: -
