Given the current situation in the Gulf of Mexico, don't forget  
Robert Flaherty's LOUISIANA STORY (1948) sponsored by Standard Oil  
and harmoniously reconciling capitalist industrial exploitation and  
the charming traditional life of rural folk.  Ahh, propaganda....

I don't know what they're planning to show at the Flaherty Seminar  
this summer, but screening this "classic" seems like a no brainer  
tribute to Flaherty's politics.
