Details

The film begins by showing images of the Holocaust, and stating that Hitler sanctioned the killing of 11 million people. This is followed by Comfort interviewing people about Adolf Hitler; their responses indicate a lack of historical knowledge, although he also finds a neo-Nazi who claims to love Hitler. Comfort proposes a hypothetical situation to his interviewees, asking if they would kill Hitler if they had the opportunity at that time in history. He asks more hypotheticals dealing with what his interviewees might do in other circumstances related to the Holocaust. He then switches his topic to make similar comparisons to abortion within the United States and the right to life, personalizing his arguments to make comparisons between the Holocaust and abortion in order to place the interviewees on the spot. The documentary concludes with Comfort stating that over 50 million abortions have occurred to date; he calls this the "American Holocaust".

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Karlee The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
raedivan This movie is still one of my favorites by Ray Comfort. It moves through three different topics that are still 'hot button' issues in our culture. Many countries are denying the Holocaust (despite the overwhelming evidence otherwise), the education about abortion procedures and what really happens is quite poor in the USA, and then of course, religion: who is God and the million dollar question, what happens to us when we die? These three topics wouldn't normally go together, but in this movie Ray makes the transition easy by way of deductive reasoning. After this movie came out, several new mothers who were thinking about abortion came back to Ray and thanked him for his logical reasoning, and compassionate discussion, on what happens in the womb.In part of my past, I spent time with post-abortive women. Abortion is clouded and not explained, which still boggles my mind. If you had a broken arm, the doctor would show you the x-ray, explain the procedure to fix it, and would explain the potential risks. For some reason, abortion isn't treated like a normal surgery in the medical field and these ladies are being lied to. Ray doesn't go that direction with the discussion, but instead approaches it by considering 'when does life begin?' Ironically, you are pronounced dead when your heartbeat stops, but you aren't pronounced 'alive' when your heartbeat starts. Which by the way, a baby's heart is visibly beating at 5 weeks gestation, which is usually when the mother takes her first pregnancy test.I appreciate that Ray is simply walking people towards the truth. He doesn't hound them, he doesn't pressure them, he just asks questions and respects their decisions.This should be inspiring for Christians to realize that you can do this too!
KingOfAllCats This little video was entertaining, well-constructed and smoothly presented. It starts off slowly as a man-on-the-street type interview and gradually leads people through a series of their own conclusions to arrive at the ultimate realization of what abortion actually is, and what its availability means to our society as a whole. The interviewer interacts with all manner of individuals found strolling though what looks like Venice Beach or Santa Monica, in California. Some have extreme viewpoints, some are noncommittal. By the end of the movie all have made definite pronouncements about this issue. The film is eye-opening and fascinating in its approach. I showed it to my preteen children and they were quite engrossed the whole time. Two years later, they will still make an offhand comment or two about something they heard in this movie. This movie is genius because it makes no statements itself but helps you to make your own statements and draw your own conclusions. If anyone doesn't like the message presented in this movie, it's probably because they don't like the conclusions they themselves have come to while watching the interviews. I highly highly recommend this movie to anyone who has kids coming to terms with these social issues in our world.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) This is "180", a film from five years ago. It was written and directed by Ray Comfort who also wrote the book that these 33 minutes are based on. Early on, he interviews people about the Holocaust and it's shocking to see how little they know about it. 10 minutes into the film, Comfort switches to giving us his perspective (and those of the interviewees) on abortion. The good thing about it is that he asks people of all approaches to the subject, but mostly these who are for it. So, if you consider babies life the very moment they are aborted, it is indeed a holocaust. There is no right or wrong on this subject, even if the liberal intolerant side wants us to think there is. What could have been done better in this documentary? I am not sure. I thought it was okay all in all, but as it's really just filled with interviews and a couple historical recordings, it's not particularly overwhelming from the documentary filmmaker point of view. It's certainly not as bad as the rating suggests. Definitely some vote-stuffing going on here by left-wing propagandists. All in all, I recommend watching it.
