This documentary is beautiful. The photography and music, in fact, are so good, that Howard Hawks seems to have cribbed extensively from it for RED RIVER. But the narration is done in the style of a teaching nun explaining sex to a class of deaf pupils.
What can you learn from this? That people insisted on farming in a land of dust. That the first world war caused the dust bowl and vice versa. That Indians and buffalo need to be cleared and that large explosions cause headlines about President Wilson. That British tanks were used to harvest wheat and that victory parades cause erosion.
Watch this, by all means, but try not to listen to the words.
