Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brian De Gousch, and I warmly welcome you all to the world premiere of my live-action documentary, M.A.D: Mutually Assured Destruction. Not to be hubristic, but it is by far the greatest film ever made.
Since living through the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Civil rights movements, walking hand-in-hand with my brothers in the Black Panthers, and cringing through countless biased films about the ‘great’ America and those ‘evil’ Russians, it is time to finally flip the script!
In 1962, four men aboard a Soviet submarine received a false alarm of nuclear attack. Three of them voted to fire a nuclear warhead. One of them did not. His name was Vasily Arkhipov, he saved the world, and yet almost nobody knows his name. This is the tale of a Russian hero. This is a story about a lying, evil America: a country founded on genocide, and the slavery of my people. This is my story. This is my life.
