In the documentary Urban Danger, 84-year-old Republican Congressman Roscoe Bartlett, who is serving his tenth term as the representative of Maryland's Sixth District, explains why US citizens should avoid living in cities.

"There are a number of events that could create a situation in our cities where civil unrest could be a very high probability," Bartlett said in the film. "And I think that those who can and those who understand need to take advantage of this opportunity when the winds of strife are not blowing to move their families out of the city."

"It's just plain fun when you're looking at the challenge of what do I have to do so that I'm independent of the system," he added.

Before becoming a member of Congress, Bartlett worked as a professor at the University of Maryland, research scientist, small business owner, and farmer. He was awarded 19 military patents for his inventions of life support equipment.

Rep. Bartlett is also a devout Seventh-day Adventist and conservationist who supports renewable energy legislation.

"As a member of Congress, I'm concerned, I would like everybody to do this," he continued. "I would like everybody to have a year's supply a food. I'd like everybody to have some plans so that they can make do if any one of these emergencies occurred. It's going to be easier to do that and you avoid the problems of civil unrest if you are out of the cities and in the country."
