People, People, People Part 2

Description

This film provides an overview of America's multicultural heritage. Animated sequences are used to trace the history of the American population, beginning with the first Mongolian crossing of the Bering Land Bridge, and continuing through subsequent generations of explorers, early settlers, and European immigrants. The scenes attempt to emphasize America's democratic values as a nation of many backgrounds forged together to create one unified nation. The film is set to a jazz score by Benny Carter with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Band.
