Among the many works made by filmmakers associated with the movement during the 1930s and 1940s are: Cargo from Jamaica (Basil Wright, 1933), Song of Ceylon (Basil Wright, 1934), BBC: The Voice of Britain (Stuart Legg, 1934), Workers and Jobs (Arthur Elton, 1935), Housing Problems (Arthur Elton and Edgar Anstey, 1935), Night Mail (Harry Watt and Basil Wright, 1936), The Saving of Bill Blewitt (Harry Watt, 1936), North Sea (Harry Watt, 1938), Spare Time (Humphrey Jennings, 1939), London Can Take It (Harry Watt and Humphrey Jennings, 1940), Target for Tonight (Harry Watt, 1941), Listen to Britain (Humphrey Jennings, 1942), Fires Were Started (Humphrey Jennings, 1943), The Silent Village (Humphrey Jennings, 1943), Western Approaches (Pat Jackson, 1944) and A Diary for Timothy (Humphrey Jennings, 1946). Robert Flaherty produced a variety of films during his life. Following Nanook of the North he made, among other films, the collaborative work Industrial Britain ( John Grierson and Robert Flaherty, 1933), Moana: A Romance of the Golden Age (1926), Man of Aran (1934) and Louisiana Story (1948). In 1942 Flaherty made The Land at the invitation of Pare Lorentz for the US Agricultural Adjustment Administration, a federally funded New Deal project. The Land was originally commissioned by the United States Film Service (an organization created in 1938 with Lorentz as its head), which was disbanded in 1940. During the brief period of its existence the US Film Service used government sponsorship in the Griersonian manner to produce films that, as with the British documentary film movement, deployed documentary film as a form of civic education. Lorentz’s own films are exemplary in this regard: The Plow that Broke the Plains (1936), The River (1937) and The Fight for Life (1940). Further reading Aitken, I. (ed.)
