Film 1: In Our Hands, Part 1: How We Got What We Have (1950) B&W Runtime 21 minutes How economic progress comes from the accumulation of privately owned tools of production; demonstrates the need for tools by showing a young couple with their infant child in a wilderness with nothing but natural resources and their hands. Young marrieds Tom and Mary are whisked back in time to the Stone Age, where they suffer deservedly because they don't have any machine tools. The usual against Big Government by Big Industry; much praise for rugged individualists. Release Date: 1950Entered the Public Domain: 1979 Film 2: In Our Hands, Part 2: What We Have (1950) B&W Runtime 14 minutes Strengths of the American free enterprise system and how it meets the needs of its citizens. What we have, according to this film, is "the great gift of economic freedom." This is defined by the narrator as the freedom to produce, to make a profit, and to invest. To help us to understand this, we're shown the history of average American housewife Midge's frying pan, as we're treated to a lot of steel making and pan manufacturing footage and are reminded that we have "the best workmen and the best tools on earth." "We have plenty of problems," the narrator concedes, a vague allusion to all the things that never appear in 1950s business films. But such problems really don't matter, he adds -- not so long as we have our wonderful economic freedom. "And we're far better off than the rest of the world!" he adds. "That's what we have!" Release Date: 1950Entered the Public Domain: 1979 Film 3: In Our Hands, Part 3: How To Lose What We Have (1950) B&W Runtime 11 minutes A very nicely thought out story using the same actors from 'What we have' which tells of a 'Government Plan' Government coming into power. What the government didn't tell us is that their plan meant taking away our home and our car! Some nice acting here, especially from the actor who plays the husband who resorts to yelling at one point in the story, which we don't see much of in films such as this. We can lose what we have in America by a lack of interest in our government, a lack of training needed to recognize false promises and false leaders, an indifference to federal subsidy and control of community activities, and a lack of incentive for greater progress. Release Date: 1950Entered the Public Domain: 1979 Film 4: In Our Hands, Part 4: How to Keep What We Have (1950) B&W Runtime 11 minutes How well we manage our natural resources, our human energy and our tools determines how well we live in America. The narrator basically gives us a choice. We can live in a free country where we have every right to do whatever we want, or we can let the government run everything for us, and let the government take over our lives.
