The World and Basic Facts
Master 1871 - Tape 2 : The World and Basic Facts The film depicts education as a building block process starting with a child's blank mind; as he acquires a few basic facts, a quest is triggered for ever more information. The camera illustrates with a map of the world showing only land and water areas. Gradually the map fills in with a panorama of continents, principal mountain ranges, rivers, deserts, oceans, with narrative relating to each."--AV-ED Films
