The Price of Peace and Freedom (1976)

"The Price of Peace and Freedom" is a 1976 American Cold War-era propaganda documentary film produced by the American Security Council Education Foundation (ASCEF), a nonprofit arm of the American Security Council Foundation (ASCF). The film promotes a "Peace Through Strength" doctrine, emphasizing the need for robust U.S. military buildup to counter perceived Soviet dominance and protect American freedoms. It aligns with the ASCF's mission, founded in 1958, to educate the public on national security issues through bipartisan strategies focused on military, economic, and diplomatic strength. The AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) is prominently featured via footage from a 1975 speech by Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn at their national convention, where he warned of Soviet threats to Western liberties.
