Louisiana Story

Two excerpts from Robert Flaherty's classic 1948 film. While not a straight documentary by any means, the film is meant to chronicle the world of rural Cajuns. As with his previous films, "Nanook of the North" and "Man of Aran", Flaherty casts non-actors to essentially play themselves albeit with a loose story line. The first excerpt is in English, the second in Cajun French, without subtitles.
