Silent History of San Francisco DVD: Silent History of San Francisco DVD |
| Product Description : It isn?t without reason that San Francisco is called the jewel city. Brimming with allurements and opportunities, the city has been home to millions who were fortunate to enjoy its charms. Beneath this glitter and glamour, however, is a strong will and determination that the people of this great Californian city have exhibited down the ages in their endeavor to excel in every sphere of life. This rare DVD captures the essence of this grit and resolve of San Franciscans in a fascinating manner. Beginning with heart-rending shots of the aftermath of the great earthquake, the clips provide an insightful pictorial journey through the city, showcasing the many activities that made up a day in the life of the great city. The restlessness and persistence of people in their demand for justice is evidenced in the clips which capture two of the many strikes that the city witnessed in an era when labor was yet to be protected by laws. The fun loving spirit of the people is also seen in the shots of parades and recreational activities, while other clips provide a peek into the frenzied pace at which the city was progressing in terms of modernization. The Colacico clips offer a rare insight into the lives of San Franciscans at the turn of the 20th century and are reminiscent of the relaxed lifestyles that people enjoyed at the time. |
