Age of the Buffalo

Campbell, Austin, (film director.). Campbell, Austin, (film producer.). Balla, Nicholas, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: A vivid recollection of the free west of the North American Indigenous Peoples and the vast herds of buffalo that once thundered across the plains. From paintings of the mid-1800s, the animation camera creates a most convincing picture of the buffalo hunt, both as the Indigenous People and, disastrously, the white hunters practised it.
