name this communism/fascism related (short?) film
I've got this film I once saw stuck in my head and would love to see it again if I could find the name. I believe it is a Cold War era propaganda film about communism or fascism or something to that effect. I remember it being a fairly short film, set in real time (or something close to it), where there is a class of young students who are subtly brainwashed by a kind, young female teacher who is new to the class. In something like fifteen minutes, she manages to turn the students into commies or something like that. I think there's a scene at the end of the film where we see the clock and that only 15 minutes or some other short length of time has elapsed.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I haven't seen this but I read the book on which it's based. I'll bet it's this 30 minute film:
The Children's Story
The teacher is played by Michaela Clavell, the daughter of James Clavell (Shogun, Nobel House etc.) who wrote the book and wrote and directed the film.

Yes, that is it. At the time I saw it, it was creepy and unsettling, but that was long ago. I'd probably find it campy now.
In any case, it doesn't look like this is available on DVD or even video, so I'll just have to look for it on TV or something.
Thanks again!
