The Plow That Broke the
Plains (1936)
Written & directed
by Pare Lorentz this is government funded documentary film. We see
how the great plains were settled and the affect farming had on it.
Somewhere between
public information and propaganda this film is clearly pushing an
agenda. As a piece of entertainment this is not exactly a thrilling
piece but does its job. Decently made but showing its age I did not
find this documentary as hard hitting as expected.
3/5
