Short #2: "NATO/OTAN"
by Gabriela Sosa

Chaos reigns in the world's most powerful nation. Civil rights have disappeared, its citizens are frightened and so it the international community. The former US Secretary of State convenes an emergency NATO Defense Council ad hoc meeting in an undisclosed location in Romania to debate the solution to this geopolitical unrest. The Defense Council is faced with the problem that now one
of their founding member nations is now a Fascist State.

NATO/OTAN is an inside look at the global debate whether to wage war in order to re-establish peace or to ignore a repressive regime to preserve stability.
