  The Plow That Broke The Plains One of the finest American documentaries, the setting of the Great Plains through the World War 1 boom to drought and depression are dramatically presented. B&W, 30 minutes. Plus: THE RIVER A: panoramic view of the Mississippi River from the Civil War through the 30's showing growth of industry and agriculture which led to the basin's exploitation and ruin. One of the first films to call for social change. The poetic narrative in this film is just one reason why it won an Academy Award. U.S., 1936, B&W, 29 minutes. Both films on one videocassette, total running time 59 minutes.
