"Full and complete" story of meat from the ranches and farms of America to the dinner table. Talks about how protein from meat is important to human body. Also about the entire meat process - from livestock ranchers to transportation to stockyards to meatpacking to your grocery store. Missing the slaughterhouse though. Then we see a butcher explaining about how to get four meals out of one shank of ham.
A1960 film about genetics and heredity in man, various traits are shown and the methods by which they are transmitted is explained. This film is a good tool to introduce genetics to anyone who has trouble understanding the concept. Great strides have been made in genetic science since this film was made, but it is still informative and useful.
Tom gets in trouble when his mother finds a joint in his room. Instead of punishing Tom, his father challenges him to learn more about marijuanas evil effects on society. Nobody gets killed in this Sid Davis film, yet Tom still learns a harsh lesson after being mugged by druggies and learning that his best friend sells pot to school children. Great anti pot propoganda film chock full of hypocritical comparisions between marijuana and alcohol.
1952 Detonation of the hydrogen bomb. This film was featured - minimally edited, and with the same old music - in Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie (Peter Kuran's exquisite 1995 documentary).
