We petition the Congress of the United States to provide for the filming of historically significant events in our history to be used for education of our citizenry.
Why is this important?
I teach History and when I search for filmed material to use as backup I am faced with the fact that much of our History is un-known. Filmmakers do not publish things that don't sell in a mass audience. Virtually all of the exploration and surveying of our West was done by the US Army and when it was done, it was locked away forever. We sent an Sea exploration around the world in the mid 1800s, that team found the continent of Antarctica and made the initial surveys of our West. We know little of this. I can think of lots of blank spots that deserve to be filmed by our government and distributed for educational purposes.
