There
is only one place in the western hemisphere that has figured in
the American imagination since humans first encountered it –
Niagara Falls. Early Iroquois legends explain its origins and powers.
Seventeenth century Europeans saws the falls as the quintessential
New World symbol, vast and terrifying. In the 18th and 19th centuries
the symbol changed to represent the moral strength of the nation.
By the 20th, the falls came to represent the commercialization of
an iconic image. Niagara has been written about, painted and photographed
more than any other site in the Americas, and this one-half hour
film tracks this voluminous, compelling body of work.
