Text transcribed from caption: P-31839 APPALACHIA SCENE OF POVERTY FILM NEW YORK -- The clapboard shack of a poverty-stricken miner starkly emphasizes the plight of thousands of Appalachia residents. The scene is from a new documentary film, “The Captive,” produced through the National Council of Churches under the sponsorship of eight member denominations. Tracing the plight of an actual man whose one skill, digging coal, is now obsolete, the documentary calls attention to pockets of poverty throughout the country and seeks to stimulate concern over ways to free the nation’s “captive poor.” The Council on International Nontheatrical Events gave “The Captive” one of its 1964 Golden Eagle Film Awards and included it among films chosen to represent the U.S. at major overseas film festivals.

Text transcribed from caption: P-31794 DANCE DEPICTS CHRISTIAN LIFE TOKYO -- One of Japan’s leading classical dancers, Mrs. Futaba Hanayagi (center), has used the medium of which she is a master to express what Christianity has meant in her life. Accompanied by five dancers, she portrays her spiritual journey -- from the despair when illness threatened to end her career at the age of nineteen -- to the vigor, joy and gratitude that came when she became a Christian. Christian hymns, sung by a 20-voice choir and accompanied by classical Japanese instruments, provide background. The unique performance has been recorded on a 20-minute color film by the National Christian Council of Japan. It is available in the United Sates, with an English soundtrack, through the Radio, Visual Education and Mass Communication Committee (RAVEMCCO) of the National Council of Churches in New York.
