Watchlist
Although the Depression tended to focus American attention on American problems, The March of Time reminded moviegoers that there was still a big world outside America's borders. Newsreels originally produced by Louis de Rochemont and narrated by Westbrook Van Voorhis comprise the second part of the six-volume March of Time: The Great Depression videotape series. Subtitled Trouble Beyond Our Shores, this installment chronicles the news of 1935-1936. The archival segments deal with various national and international topics, including Manchukuo, in Japanese-occupied China, 1935; U.S. attempts to stop the narcotics traffic from Honduras; the disruption of America's first plans for a trans-Pacific air route by Japan, Britain, and Australia Townsend Plan; the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority); Diebler (France); Moscow; Hartman discovery (U.S.); Father Divine (Harlem); Tokyo, Japan; Devil's Island (French Guiana); and Fisheries (New England). Gleaned from newsreels produced by Time Magazine during the years 1935-1951, the monumental March of Time videotape series features the "pictorial journalism" that informed, educated, and entertained millions of Americans for 16 years.
