#Electrifying #DairyFarm
In 1940, the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) commissioned "Power and the Land" with the aim of demonstrating to farmers the transformative impact electricity could have on their lives. This 38-minute film captures two full days on the Parkinsons' dairy farm – one before the introduction of electricity and one after.
The premiere of "Power and the Land" took place on August 31, 1940, at the Old Trail Theater in St. Clairsville, Ohio. Following its acquisition by RKO Radio Pictures a few months later, the film reached a widespread audience as it was distributed to 5,000 movie theaters across the nation.
