de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception
Click topic for LINK
Humorous documentary on mid-century America rife with anxiety, apprehension and paranoia narrated with vintage clips and music reminiscent of military training films to pop songs. Focused on propoganda and false optimism of the 1950s.
Satire shines throughout including images of Hiroshima against cheerful suburban duck-and-cover themes.
Entertaining and witty.
Documentary at the link.
