Dating to 1925, this silent film "Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life" is one of the earliest ethnographic documentary films ever made. This version runs 57 minutes. The film was also released in a slightly longer version of over 70 minutes by Paramount, and in digest form from Kodak as part of its Kodascope Library. The film follows members of the Bakhtiari, a sub-tribe of the Lurs, in Persia -- modern-day Iran -- as they and their herds make their seasonal journey to better pastures. The film was directed and filmed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest Schoedsack, with financing provided by Marguerite Elton Harrison and Cooper's family. The journey was the first ever undertaken by Westerners with the Bakhtiari. The first part of "Grass" documents the ancient caravan route from Angora (modern Ankara, Turkey) to the Bakhtiari lands in Persia (western Iran in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province and the eastern part of Khuzestan). It then shows leader Haidar Khan as he leads 50,000 of his people and countless animals on a harrowing trek across the Karun River and over Zard Kuh, the highest peak in the Zagros Mountains. The film was made at a critical juncture, as just 20 years later, this type of migration was being made with trucks and by train, instead of on foot. Also, the position of the tribe changed greatly in the years after the film was made. Reza Shah Pahlavi (r. 1925–1941) made the destruction of the Bakhtiari influence in Persia part of his mission, in part due to the existence of oil on Bakhtiari territory A few tribal leaders were executed by Pahlavi in order to crush Bakhtiari autonomy.
The documentary preceded and influenced another, more famous film made by Cooper and Schoedsack, namely King Kong (1933). Grass was distributed by Paramount Pictures and shown publicly in New York on March 30, 1925.
Marguerite Elton Harrison (1879–1967) was an American reporter, spy, film maker, and translator who was one of the four founding members of the Society of Woman Geographers. Merian Caldwell Cooper (1893 – 1973) was an American aviator, United States Air Force and Polish Air Force officer, adventurer, screenwriter, film director, and producer. He was member of the Explorers Club, and is credited as co-inventor of the Cinerama film projection process. Cooper's most famous film was the 1933 movie King Kong.

Shot by an unknown American, this silent home movie footage was shot in and around Shanghai, China in 1946-1948 time period. It is part of a group of 16mm movies shot by an unknown American who was working for the OMEA, or Officer's Moral Endeavor Association, a sort of non-governmental, YMCA type group operating in post-WWII China.
This film captures the storm flooding in Shanghai, which was a frequent occurrence before the installation of the storm drains and rain sewers in mid-1980s. The Waibaidu Bridge, Suzhou River and the Shanghai Post Office, seen in related films, are seen again here, along with a part of the 1945-1948 U.S. Navy "Yellow River Flotilla" out of which you can distinguish the outlines of 2 heavy cruisers (including USS Los Angeles) and a group of destroyers, anchored in the Huang Pu (Yellow River) in the midst of Shanghai.
0:07 Mass gathering of people, a kind of a procession with flags, probably filmed from the Broadway Mansions building, by the Waibaidu bridge and the Suzhou river
0:45-3:38 Scenes of the Chinese riverboat men life by the Waibaidu Bridge
1:41 Pan up to the Wusong (Suzhou river) the tributary of the Huangpu (Yellow rRiver) in Shanghai. Building in the middle with a tower is the Shanghai Post Office, Zhapu Road Bridge closest and North Sichuan Road bridge in the distance.
3:38 View over the Waibaidu bridge, towards the Bund (from the Broadway Mansions) on the plots which are now occupied by the Peninsula Shanghai Hotel
3:54 Zoomed-in view down towards the boatmen again, the cameraman was trying his new zoom, probably.
3:58 Zoomed-in view towards the Zhongshan East 1st Road busy with traffic – and the Bund, pan down towards the Waibaidu Bridge.
4:22 Zoomed-in view of a power station across the river in Pudong, port and US Navy ships anchored in the river at 4:30-4:36
4:50 Suzhou river, Post Office and mansions again
5:19 Workers loading something heavy and fragile onto the truck, perhaps mirrors.
5:48-6:23 More scenes of longshoremen moving goods onto the sampans.
6:30-8:07 Scenes of rural life in the Pudong District of Shanghai – reaping buckwheat and various bushes.
7:01 5-level pagoda, now demolished
8:07-end of the video Flooded streets of Shanghai, again – probably because of rain. This problem wasn't solved until the building of rainwater sewers and stormdrains in mid-1980ies. Cars, people and trams wade and advance slowly through the waterlogged street along the Suzhou river.
9:20 "No parking" sign
9:36 A utility vehicle ploughs through the water, while, in the background a shop "Harding & Co" remains open with a small wooden board serving as dam at the entrance. Based on some research, this shop appears to have been located on Peking Road.
10:40 In the rare open shops, people are getting their goods through the door., most everything is closed.

,1,Made in 1937, HIGHWAY MANIA is an early driver safety film narrated by Lowell Thomas. It features stunning images of auto accidents, including some that are doubtless stunts from Hollywood films. At 1:43, there are images of the burning SS Morro Castle, a famous disaster that killed over a hundred;; yet Lowell Thomas says that today auto accidents claim four times that amount. At 2:00, a gigantic Florida hurricane is shown. The 1936 floods are seen at 2:20. "What can we do about the appalling loss of life?" says Thomas. He interviews Governor Harold G. Hoffman of New Jersey about traffic safety at the 3:00 mark, along with Commissioner McGee.
At 4:00, features of the New Jersey State Highway are seen that improve safety. The express highway shown is US Route 22, and at the time it was State Highway 29. The eastern 4 miles were all grade separated, as it was a connection to the Pulaski Skyway, which lead to the Holland Tunnel.
At 8:30, reports are seen that analyze varying accidents caused by bad driving habits. These habits are then shown in dramatic footage on the highway, with cars weaving in and out of traffic, driving on the wrong side, and even stopping on the highway to read a sign, passing on the left, etc.
Hand signals are shown at the 11:50 mark.
The film ends with various crazy stunts with cars, planes, and even horses — and these stunts are compared to the crazy drivers on the roads today. Be safe -- don't be a maniac driver!!
The express highway shown is US Route 22, and at the time it was state highway 29. The eastern 4 miles were all grade separated, as it was a connection to the Pulaski Skyway, which lead to the Holland Tunnel.
The NJ Turnpike did not open until 1951, and it was a black top highway. All of the NJ State Highways of the 1930s were done in concrete.
