The proliferation of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to rogue states such as Iran and North Korea pose a grave danger to the lives of all Americans.
North Korea is currently developing a long-range ballistic missile that could soon carry a nuclear warhead all the way to Alaska or California. Iran already has missiles that can reach Europe, and could soon acquire nuclear weapons. These countries could share their missile and nuclear technologies with terrorists, who would in turn be able to directly threaten New York City and other American cities with short-range missiles.
Once terrorist-supporting states get their hands on a nuclear missile, they would be free to attack us and our allies with impunity, knowing full well we would think twice before sending our armed forces into a country that could retaliate with nuclear missiles. They would be emboldened to threaten their neighbors, assert dominance in their region, and further destabilize dangerous situations. Thus, they would gain sanctuary from which to export more terrorism.

Despite this present and growing danger, our government has moved too slowly to build the missile defense systems capable of defending us against such attacks. This is wrong. We have the technologies to do the job. And building a system is affordable, costing no more than 3 percent of the total annual defense budget.
We need to overcome the complacency of politicians, the spurious arguments of academics, and the narrow minded interests of government in order to defend Americans from this potential nuclear holocaust.
Reviews
“The first time I saw work by ColdWater I knew in my heart that I wanted to work with them. For years I had envisioned using video/film to help share the solutions to critical problems we face as a nation and as individuals. But who in the industry could help me do it? Who could I find to keep within budget, produce a show-stopping product, and most importantly, who could I trust with the message? ColdWater was and is the clear answer. The quality of ColdWater’s work is stellar, but the level of passion in which they approach the subject matter is the “kicker”: ColdWater only tells the stories they believe in – and the messages they share with the world come from a deep conviction of what is right. Add to that the fact that they are stocked with creative genius, ingenuity, and a commitment to the highest technical standards, and you realize that God put ColdWater on this earth to spread truth through video and film.”

“Here is what is cool about working with ColdWater. They are wizards at getting the vision inside your head on to the screen. The folks at ColdWater are talented, sure, but just as important they hit deadlines and stay on budget…they are professionals.
Making a film is a lot more than writing a check. It is a collaborative, a team effort. You can’t help but trust and have confidence in the ColdWater production team from the first meeting. Someday the folks at ColdWater will be standing on the stage picking up their Oscars. They are that good.”

“The length of time it would take for a nuclear ballistic missile, launched from North Korea to reach a US city – 33 minutes, and Obama’s talking about cutting missile defense! This chilling documentary makes the case for just how America can and should protect itself. So members of The Heritage Foundation are already up to speed on the effect of Obama’s budget request, $1.4 billion in missile defense, as being wrong at this time. You can see highlights of this documentary at www.askheritage.org.”

“This forthcoming film on missile defense from the Heritage Foundation should be a part of Barack Obama’s White House orientation session.”
