In 1975 precisely fifty years after Merian C. Coopers and Ernest B. Schoedsack’s 1925 Odyssey ‘Grass: A Nation’s Battle for Life’ , Anthony Howarth and David Koff decide to pay tribute to their daunting predecessors in another Documentary illustrating the same journey, only the reverse trip.
This time in colour this documentary entitled « People of the Wind » shot in 1975 and released in 1976 allowed the film crew to focus on one particular tribesman leader, whose words, translated into English and read by the actor James Mason, tell the timeless story of the great migration.
