Sinopsis
"Sal para Svanetia" no se parece en nada a los documentales actuales y, por tanto, la historia debe seguir una estructura y un patrón diferentes. El tema se transmite a través de intertítulos y de las tomas cinéticas y de la edición utilizada para mostrar la urgencia y el peligro dentro de la película. Con el uso de técnicas de montaje, con frecuencia se unen tomas no relacionadas para agregar a la historia y apoyar la tesis. El montaje conduce a la audiencia a través de los rituales y hábitos desconocidos de la ciudad, como el esquilado de ovejas, la confección de sombreros y los ritos funerarios. La forma en que está formateada y cortada hace que la película se perciba tanto educativa como subjetivamente, en especial con el mensaje de cómo se puede ayudar a la lucha de esta aldea con la sal para sobrevivir. En general está bellamente filmada y la elección de las tomas ayuda a crear y transmitir la idea de un pueblo desesperado y aislado que sólo podría salvarse con un nuevo gobierno.

Durante un año esta película sigue la vida de una familia normal de Pyongyang cuya hija es elegida para formar parte de la "Unión de Niños". Las explosiones ritualizadas de color y alegría contrastan marcadamente con la pálida realidad cotidiana, que no es particularmente terrible, sino bastante surrealista, como una vida típica vista "a través de un espejo".
It was the biggest escape in the history of the Berlin Wall: in one historic night of October 1964, 57 East-Berliners try their luck through a tunnel into West Berlin. Just before the last few reach the other side, the East German border guards notice the escape and open fire. Remarkably, all the refugees and their escape agents make it out of the tunnel unscathed, but one border guard is dead: 21-year-old officer Egon Schultz.

Like the best USIA films, The Wall distills political events into an emotionally clear and compelling ideological "story". In 1962 Walter de Hoog gathered footage from U.S. and German newsreel sources and crafted this taut short film about the first year of the Berlin Wall. Straightforward, keenly balanced narration portrays Berliners as "accepting the wall but never resigned to it". The extraordinary footage of the first escapes was propaganda enough-- His challenge was to make the politics human.
