| Remarkable documentary - have patience as all will be revealed
At first, I thought this was an okay film.10 minutes later I thought it was very good. 10 minutes after that, I realized it was excellent. The pace is slow, deliberate, and has more than its share of "Holy cow!" moments. Be patient as there's a huge story that needs to be told and it has a cast of thousands. Using old movie footage (from films both preserved in Hollywood and "found" in Dawson City) and interviews with some of the people "who were there", Bill Morrison has crafted a big story of a small town in a very big world with history playing out all around it.

An extraordinary piece of documentary film-making. Bravo!

Trivia

Though a completely Canadian story, newsreel segments about the US were included showing crooked sports teams, racial bigotry and union wars, even corrupt politics in the form of New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker (I), a clip that was not found in Dawson City (it's a talkie) but had to be specially brought in.
