War Propaganda

When you open the "American Memory" section of the wonderful website of the US Library of Congress, you will find Philippine material: pictures, texts, music and even short films made at the turn of the last century. The films related to the Filipino-American War, which run for less than a minute, include rare footage of American troops sailing to Manila from San Francisco, another showing the Americans carefully moving their horses against the current of the Agno River, and yet another showing the troops marching and kicking up dust beside a nipa hut somewhere in Pampanga. These images are very engaging because unlike static text, moving pictures definitely say much more than words.
