...told the story without anger, impassively. "They rode right through the people, beating 'em with clubs. I they rode up on that porch near the corner knocked a baby from a women's arms, though I didn't see it myself." But now the wns looked green, the porches clean and whitewashed. The sun was warm, and happy came from the church--it didn't seem if there could have been a beating here. This as Montgomery, not Selma...
...rugs and Olivetti typewriters sank in a storm off Naples. Insurance company divers said the water was too deep for salvage. The company ordered new divers from West Germany and, meanwhile, threw a police-boat cordon around the sunken ship.

For this is a film about the struggle to live--to survive physically, to force nature to yield a living, and to continue to be glad you are alive. And it is about a community, its harsh and timeless rites, its reaction to outsiders...
