Fighting Nature! (1939)

Titles read: “FIGHTING NATURE!“ Tien-Tsin, China. Various shots of floods over a vast area of farmland. We then see Japanese troops and Chinese under supervision at work, building a new canal that will help remove the flood waters. Dynamite charges are used to blast a new channel; several shots of the small explosions throwing earth into the air. The flood water flows through the channel; a marker shows how much the water level has dropped. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
