Will the Republican controlled Congress do the right thing and listen to millions of American patriots, or are we on the verge of the Apocalypse?

Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991) is the acclaimed documentary about the chaotic production of Apocalypse Now. It features behind-the-scenes footage shot by Eleanor Coppola, detailing the film's 238-day shoot, budget issues, and Francis Ford Coppola's intense creative struggles.

Apocalypse Now was controversial primarily due to its harrowing, real-life on-set violence—specifically the unscripted slaughter of a water buffalo—along with massive production chaos, including Marlon Brando's erratic behavior, Martin Sheen's actual heart attack, and accusations of exploiting local workers and animals. The film's dark portrayal of the Vietnam War and the high-stakes, over-budget production also created significant controversy. 

Meanwhile, the GOP controlled government reportedly maintains secure underground facilities designed to ensure continuity of operations during emergencies. One of the most well-known is the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, a hardened military installation built during the Cold War. Its existence and purpose have long been publicly documented.
