DESCRIPTION:
"Hot Afternoons Have Been in Montana" (14:38), based on the esteemed 1925 "Nation" magazine prize poem, and narrated by its author. This dramatic and colorful montage, combining photographs, live-action and special effects, takes us on a wonderful odyssey showing how a hot afternoon in Montana is related to the whole world. It so deeply honors the earth--its land, its history, its people, and makes the past--the feelings of people alive! Eli Siegel said that "Hot Afternoons" is essentially the making history poetic.
