Film

Master Hands - (1936) a unique documentary film which takes the viewer inside a Chervolet plant whereby the entire production process is portrayed in a vivid and quite artistic manner. It was filmed the same year as the Chaplin classis, Modern Times. Historical writers suggest that it formed part of a social realism (soviet style) mini-movement within the USA. Kind of a funky little film. The film can be downlaoded at the linked site. It comes in four parts so be sure you download all 4. It is public domain so go ahead.
