Learning on ScreenShallow Well Project, The
- Synopsis
- About the construction of a new well for the Navajo to draw water from. The film differs from most of the others in the series in that it concerns a non-traditional subject and occasionally rearranges the natural order of events. Some Navajo found it too complex (as in the case of INTREPID SHADOWS), others very useful in a practical sense.
