Cold War Treatment Rewrite

Instead of the previous approach of diverging from history at the point of the Bay of Pigs or The Cuban Missile Crisis, our group will take a coloser look at the Soviet-Afghan War. Turns out that this war was, to Soviet Russia, what Vietnam was to the U.S.A. They lost a lot of men and resources. One of the more interesting points of the war is that a Muslim guerrilla force, which stood against the communist government in Afghanistan, included Osama bin Laden, who went on to terroize America. The film our group will create will focus on the possiblity of the elminiation of certain terrorist attacks against America as a result of the lack of the Soviet-Afghan War. Bin Laden will be a point of focus, but there will be other focuses as well.

A lone adventurer sets out to save the world by discovering a new source of water. After many trials and tribulations he finds a new source. World leaders broadcast message to the public instructing them on how to conserve water and accenting the importance of conservation.
