robert flaherty have a great eye for the interesting shot . never more so than this oil company fund film about a young boy see the oil rig come to his louisiana bayou . although there be not much of a story the shot of the oil rig and life in the bayou and and the mood that flaherty capture make it a film well worth see . if you see man of aran or nannok of the north remember it be the same great documentary filmmaker . i have see it twice and probably will see it again someday .
