Description

Humanities and Social Sciences
Numerous cutaways of Leonard Knight's second mountain in November, 1990, during the rebuilding process: various scripture quotes, painted flowers, dirt and sandy areas too. Many B-rolls shots of bombing range -- bombs laying on dirt, small bomb with fins, rusted jeep riddled with bullet holes, 55 gallon drums, blackened and twisted tree trunk. Video quality is good for duration of tape while documenting this cutaway material.
