To Catch A Hidden Thief
Preview Cassette #221941 This industrial farming film deals with pig lung infections. It opens with a LS of a male hog farmer getting out of a red truck in a small town. He enters a diner and sits with two other farmers (MS cross-cuts during conversation on pig respiratory infections). Some interesting shots include a MS of flanneled farmer sitting on a couch watching TV, LS of a "Crossfire" type of TV program(stilted dialogue on said infections and a CU of an animal cilia photograph),LS's of farmer watching pen full o' pigs (and CU of pigs in action), and a LS/MS/CU meeting between a physician and a group of farmers. The latter is particularly interesting because it segues into a scene involving healthy and unhealthy pig lungs in lab trays(!), a scissor-wielding doctor, and two glasses of water. There is also a MS of piglets suckling, a MS of two farmers talking in front of a farm silo, and a CU of a cash register being rung on.
