This Land Is

“This Land Is” was completed by the Film Production Unit of Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 1969. University film catalogs describe it as: “This film traces the history and character of the southern Illinois region from its pre-history to the present, utilizing many folk stories and contemporary witticisms as related by southern Illinoisans themselves. In its prologue, the film defines the area and the purpose of the film which is to promote southern Illinois, especially as it relates to the proposed George Rogers Clark Scenic Drive.” Additionally: “Here is a motion picture about a region – that southern portion of Illinois called Egypt by its natives. The film recreates images from the area’s past – of Paleo man who hunted this land, of Marquette and Joliet who explored it, and of George Rogers Clark who captured it. It re-tells tales by Dickens and Mark Twain who knew this land; and it relates the anecdotes of those who know it now – area miners, farmers and riverboat men. “This Land Is” reflects the personality of a region – the philosophy of a people.”
