In The Face of Evil

AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY ON RONALD REAGAN AND THE COLD WAR TO AIR IN NATIONAL TELEVISION DEBUT ON PRESIDENT’S DAY, FEBRUARY 20th

February 7, 2006 —The critically-acclaimed, award-winning documentary, In the Face of Evil: Reagan’s War in Word and Deed will make its national television debut, in a special broadcast by the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) on President’s Day, February 20, 2006 (10 p.m. EST / 7 p.m. PST).  In the Face of Evil details the history of the Cold War and Ronald Reagan’s forty-year campaign to bring an end to Soviet communism and reveals how one man’s faith, determination and unwavering-conviction altered the course of world history. President Reagan was recently voted “The Greatest American” in a nationwide poll conducted by the Discovery Channel and America Online.

In The Face of Evil is based on Peter Schweizer’s acclaimed best-seller, Reagan’s War:  The Epic Story of His Forty Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism.  Schweizer’s book is widely credited with cementing the notion that President Reagan achieved the final victory over communism through direct confrontation with the enemy.

Originally released in theatres in Fall, 2004, for a limited theatrical run, In the Face of Evil broke box-office attendance records for a documentary, in a number of cities where it was screened. At that time, the film received critical praise from all sectors of the media and was the recipient of several awards from the film industry and prominent film festivals.
