Question: In the early 1980s, I saw a film in school about an elementary school class after a successful invasion of the United States by the Soviets. (It is not "Red Dawn.") The class gets a new teacher, and she cuts an American flag into small pieces and gives a piece to each student. Do you know what this movie is?

Answer: It's actually a 30-minute film called "The Children's Story," based on a book by James Clavell, who also wrote "Shogun." It aired as part of the syndicated anthology series "Mobil Showcase" in 1982. The cast includes Mildred Dunnock and Michaela Clavell, the author's daughter, as the teacher, acting under the name Michaela Ross.
