The Big Show in Bololand
Scripting of a 60-minute documentary film about the efforts of the American Relief Administration to combat starvation in the new Soviet Union from 1921–23.
"The Big Show in Bololand" is a 60-minute documentary on the work of the American Relief Administration (ARA) to combat starvation in the new Soviet Russia from 1921-23.

In the background are the distrust and the political agendas of an ardent anti-communist, the ARA's director Herbert Hoover, and the leader of Russia's new regime, Vladimir Lenin.
