- Presented by the Chrysler Corporation’s Dodge Division, and produced by Wilding Picture Productions, Land Of The Free is a 1940 film that gives a look at the people and natural resources that helped make America one of the most prosperous countries. The film shows montage after montage of quickly edited shots of U.S. industries, people, and the role the automobile industry plays in the larger American economy. The film opens with footage of a plane flying in the sky, rolling ocean waves, cattle, and fields of wheat. Quick shots of different cultures throughout the world are followed by a look at the Statue of Liberty and an aerial view of the statue and New York Harbor (02:45). As the film talks about the rise of industrialization in the U.S., it shows viewers an oil well, a steel factory, cotton bales, and a corn field. Cars drive on a coastal road (03:44). Women sit and work at a telephone switch board. Men shuffle by on their way to or from work (04:32). There is a shot of New York City’s skyline. Covered wagon trains move across the country. Chinese workers lay railroad tracks. There is a short montage of inventions, including lightbulbs and film rolls. A man plows a field with a horse-drawn plow (07:28). An aerial view of Niagara Falls (07:43) is followed by shot of Boulder Dam (Hoover Dam). The film then shows an aerial view of Manhattan Island (08:33) and footage of Chicago and the National Capitol Building. A montage of shots show men working various jobs: viewers quickly see a baker, a painter, a police officer, and a man using a jackhammer. Kids walk to their school (10:05). Viewers see, from a distance, a small rural town set in a rolling-hill landscape (10:58). People play on a beach. Spectators watch a baseball game. Several people ski down a slope. Men, presumably cowboys, sit around a campfire and sing a song (12:22). A man and a woman drive an early automobile model down a country road (14:02). Men assemble a car in a production plant (15:15). Cars drive down a four-lane highway (15:54). The film then talks about how the automobile industry supports so many other industries, and as it does, it shows very short clips of related industries: a weaving machine fabricates cloth (17:17), sheep graze on a hillside, and a miner breaks rock in a mine. An aerial view shows the production plant for Dodge automobiles (19:44; 22:57). The film shows a building that may be Meadow Brook Hall or the assembly plant in Hamtrack. There is another montage of shots of individuals working in a Dodge production plant. At the Dodge Division of Chrysler Engineering (22:10), men test various parts. There is an aerial shot of farmlands; a covered wagon train moves along an old wagon trail; a train moves down a railroad; and cars drive on highways and streets. The film concludes similarly to how it opened, with shots of the great resources of America: the land and the people.
Dodge is an American brand of automobile manufactured by FCA US LLC(formerly known as Chrysler Group LLC), based in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Dodge vehicles currently include performance cars, though for much of its existence Dodge was Chrysler's mid-priced brand above Plymouth.
Founded as the Dodge Brothers Company machine shop by brothers Horace Elgin Dodge and John Francis Dodge in the early 1900s, Dodge was originally a supplier of parts and assemblies for Detroit-based automakers and began building complete automobiles under the "Dodge Brothers" brand in 1914, predating the founding of Chrysler Corporation. The factory was located in Hamtramck, Michigan, and was called the Dodge Main factory from 1910 until its closing in January 1980. The Dodge brothers both died in 1920, and the company was sold by their families to Dillon, Read & Co. in 1925 before being sold to Chrysler in 1928. Dodge vehicles mainly consisted of trucks and full-sized passenger cars through the 1970s, though it made memorable compact cars (such as the 1963-76 Dart) and midsize cars (such as the "B-Body" Coronet and Charger from 1962-79).

This is when America was truly American unlike today.
We can become a great country again.
The Dodge Brothers DID NOT put out this film. It would be a neat trick if they did. They died in the 20s.
This is true motivation.
Good film, and it moves right along. But it's sickening to see how much we've lost with jobs going overseas, and the resulting poverty we live with today.
Yep and the fact that alot of the younger ones couldnt be bothered with doing this kind of work. When I won custody of my son I had to re-program him. He just graduated trade school and has a job with a defense contractor building Maritime Autonomus Vessels.
@@deepbludude4697 Very good, sir. There are too few "aware" parents like you are.
discerningmind - What are you doing about it?
@@jonhohensee3258 I vote. What are you doing about it?
@@discerningmind That's all?
outstanding!!!
Yes. We need to show stuff like this in schools, today.
Love the map. Up in Canada - nothing.
And to think there are Americans today who look at this film with disdain, ten thousand curses upon them. This film was a affirmation of the national industriousness of an America just emerging from a prolonged depression. An America self reliant, strong, a people confident, a country that would in a very short time become an Arsenal of Democracy, because of its faith in God and its people free. Americans must once again believe in themselves through our Almighty Father who made the United States a nation mightier than Rome, mightier than any empire ever seen. Return to God, my American friends. The great Republic must persist, for there are work to be done here on earth and beyond to the high frontier!
Absolutely! with the proper motivation we might be able to do it again. Though i fear the actual work force would not be happy or productive.
This was an isolationist film made by pro-Nazis to keep America out of the war. It's Propaganda, not reality.
@@veergauba Absolutely
Did this narrator ever stop to take a breath?
Has The United States of America ever stopped to take a breath? 🤔👀
He ran through the entire list of known adjectives and adverbs at least three times...
The Dodge brothers both died from the Spanish Flu epidemic in1920 within a few months of each other.
The Wright Brothers both enjoyed grape soda.
In 20-20? I LIKE IKE america needs an Eisenhower two point oH
In 2022 where one of the most regulated people on the planet not even close the freedom of the Americans when this film was made.
Pluss the American dream is being destroyed by its most dangerous enemy its own government.
Back then it was still the government for the people by the people.
Yep!
The 100 year old Marine said it best, "This is not the same country his brother's died for." The Communist Democrat party will be the demise of America. They are truly, the most dishonest, repugnant bastards on the planet.
@@TrumpFanNetwork2 Democrats are Communists? Wha?
The brotherhood of capital and labor?
This narrator sounds like he's either from Minnesota or Wisconsin.
Never retreat nor Surrender, the earth abides 🌍🏞🌏🙄🥇
Hindsight is 2020 only when it leads to the enlightenment of insight, which then makes it possible to have the foresight to apply that knowledge, and manifest Wisdom.
This channel would be perfect if it wasn't for the embeded timecode.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous RUclips users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

@@PeriscopeFilm Thanks for what you do, it's a fantastic endeavor.
No time stamp for the Detroit/Windsor Tunnel & Ambassador Bridge? In a Dodge Brothers film of all things.
We had a tremendous source of ethnical diversity...but never recognized as an asset....sad.
Race doesn't matter. How well we can work as a team to achieve a common goal does
That was in 1940, not the same now
rEallY????
I want to see this video again before i die
???
What it must have been like in 1939...
1939......Hitler was advancing more and breaking treaties, The Great Depression was ending and the dawn of the 2nd world War was emerging. Within 2 years the USA would be in a world war.
Remember what they took from you.
........And inner-city poverty and slums.......................
wow all that beautiful land is now building how sad
There are still many open expanses of land, largely unpopulated, throughout the country especially in the western states.
Have you never flown in a plane across America? The existence of mankind is spotted but is barely perceptible.
Gary - YOU do!
now, urban areas abound with slums,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Dodge Brothers merged into Chrysler Corp. long before this film was made, the title is not correct, although a minor point.
SamSurplusSales so true
Perhaps people still referred to Dodge as Dodge Brothers, just as people still call their Ram trucks Dodge long after Ram became its own make separate from Dodge.
Propaganda.
So basically they or we all work for dodge motor company lol .. omg this film hahahaha ..
The land of the free , as long as your working to make cars your free ? Ok 👌
Too old fashion.
old fashioned
Jay Leno talking to a young American: "apart from America, name another country that enjoys the same freedoms as we do"? Young American: duuuuuh!".
The correct answer is, Europe, Australia, Scandinavia, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, and on and on...........
These films are boastful and misleading. American attitudes have not changed since the making of this film, discuss.
All those countries listed have far more restrictions on private gun ownership and the right to self defense. Several of the countries listed actually make speech that isn't politically correct ILLEGAL punishable with a potential prison sentence. Tommy Robinson more than proves the UK doesn't have a 1st amendment.
DAVID ZOOK the US has a far higher rate of gun deaths than any other developed country. They have more gun deaths than Mexico. I guess you need more guns to solve that issue.
@@Kyle899 if 4 or 5 major metro areas are excluded from the statistics the US is far below many developed nations. Incidentally, those same metro areas also have SIGNIFICANT restrictions imposed on legal gun ownership and crime, specifically violent crimes are rampant. Similar sized and populated metro areas in the US that do not have significant restrictions, but actually encourage, private ownership of firearms have a far lower crime rate. The other issue is the right to self defense. In many of these major metro areas self defense is generally frowned upon by the "authorities", however in other similarly sized areas where many people are of the opinion that it's reasonable to be somewhat self reliant crime rates are lower. States that have few restrictions on private gun ownership have far lower crime rates than states with many more restrictions. We are unique in the fact that not only can similar metro areas be compared but also have essentially 50 different experimental models to compare. In all cases, states with fewer restrictions have less violent crime. This of course is ignored by media, politicians, and commentators. In the US it's estimated that between 500k and 1.5 million times per year firearms are used for self defense. Often during these incidents no shots are fired. The lowest estimate of 500k which is stated by the CDC (a government agency), is 50 times the rate of firearms deaths annually when excluding suicide. Statistically speaking approximately 10k people are killed by firearms annually when the population is 320 million, when you further consider that at least 80% of that number killed is concentrated in 4 or 5 major metro areas and those areas have significant restrictions on private gun ownership it would seem reasonable to hypothesize that cities are dangerous when good citizens can't defend themselves.
Europe is a country?
@@Sennmut of course Europe is not a country, but a group of countries and that minor issue of wording has nothing to do with the greater point.
