Documentary film consisting of four segments set in different countries (Italy, Haiti, Canada, Norway) exploring the dual themes of humanity's power to build and to destroy. The Canadian section focuses on the development of Kitimat and the Kemano project, particularly the tensions between various immigrant groups in the new town. A soccer match between two teams is shown.
The documentary "Power Among Men" (1959) was produced by the United Nations Film Service and directed by Alexander Hammid, Gian Luigi Polidoro, and V.R. Sarma.
Custodial History
The 2 original reels of "Power Among Men" were donated to the District of Kitimat by the UN in 1959, and from the DoK to the Kitimat Museum and Archves on May 19th 1983. In 2001, the reels were donated to the BC Archives and a VHS copy of the film was received by the Museum in exchange. A digital copy of the film is now held by the Kitimat Museum and the segment on Kitimat is shown to guests as part of the "City of Tomorrow" exhibit.
