Fighting Evil with the Help of Satan: President Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin, 1939-1945
By Georgy Gounev
The very magnitude of the dramatic contradiction between the amazing insight demonstrated by FDR with regard to Nazi Totalitarianism, and his staggering blindness toward the threat of the much more sophisticated left-wing version of the same phenomenon is a fascinating subject for historical research and interpretation.
MOVIE SCRIPT
“A GRAVE OF YOUR OWN”
LOG LINE – A contemporary political, psychological, action-thriller that blends James Bond with Syriana.
The assault on a Soviet military base in Kazakhstan performed by a team of fanatical Muslim terrorists ends up with the disappearance of a large container filled with deadly poisonous gas. Some years later the smuggling of the dangerous substance on American soil precipitates a fierce competition between the FBI on one side, and a group of Radical Muslim terrorists trying to unleash a gas attack on New York City, on the other.
There is a score of well-developed characters against the background of relentless action. The dynamics of the story line becomes even more intense when the information provided by a Chechen detainee leads to the establishment of a joint American-Russian task force led by two former enemies from the years of the Afghan War.
Their enemies are a fanatical youngster coming from an isolated Afghan village, who is ready to die before he had ever lived, and a beautiful Chechen girl full of hatred for both, Russia and the United States. The end of the story comes as a shock to the viewer accustomed to the easily predictable happy ending – all efforts to apprehend the terrorists fail, and at the last moment the gas attack on New York is prevented only due to the fact that the beautiful Chechen woman has a change of heart.
