Homework Woes. Little Help?

Confuzor

<div class="IPBDescription">Presentation on Joseph McCarthy</div> I have a history presentation due a little less than a month from now, and oddly enough, I am actually motivated in doing a good job with it.

I'm presenting a powerpoint presentation on Joseph McCarthy with the thesis statement:

"Joseph McCarthy's fight against Communism was motivated by his lust for power rather than a genuine concern for the welfare of the United States."

What I'd really like to do is use some interesting media for this project, specifically video clips. I am however finding the hunt for these clips to be rather difficult. I've tried archive.org already with no luck, and google gets me <a href='http://www.webcorp.com/mccarthy/' target='_blank'>this currently defunct page</a>. I've also hunted on Kazaa and Overnet with no luck their either.

Anyone have any ideas where I might be able to get these clips? I'd especially like to get a hold of that famous one in the courtroom where that line "are you or were you ever part of the communist party?"

I also know that there was a movie made about this, I'm not sure if it's about the Hollywood 10 in particularly, but something to do with McCarthyism. Anyone know this movie?

Thanks

You could recreate it using guys in wigs and dresses.. And have the court in someones backyard. And any girls you know can play the male characters.

That would rock.

However, 'alas', I cannot help you. Search for relevent phrases, and see if you can follow the links.

Like 'anti-communism media/clips/video/download"

etc etc

I wouldn't waste time on searching through commercial movies - they still shy away from the supposedly controversial topic, although one could argue that a few scenes of Dr. Strangelove could be useful to describe the feeling of the time.
