Good Look at the CCC
We Can Take It (1935)
*** (out of 4)
This 21-minute silent short comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and shows President Roosevelt's Civilian Conservation Corps in full effect from the time the boys went to work until the time they left. The CCC was basically put in place to give young men a job, boost their moral and protect the forests of California. Throughout the short we see the various jobs that were being performed and one really does get a great idea of what this mission was all about and why it was so important to Roosevelt. At 21-minutes this thing does run a tad bit too long but there's no denying that this is a rather important part of history so we're thankful that someone was there with a camera to take these images for future generations to see. I think the most impressive stuff just deals with the various projects (over 60) that were done by this group.
