Wiki.
Louisiana Story is a 1948 American black-and-white drama film directed by Robert J. Flaherty. Although it has historically been represented as a documentary film, the events and characters depicted are fictional and the film was commissioned by the Standard Oil Company to promote its drilling ventures in the Louisiana bayous. There is not enough factual or educational material in the film to even warrant classifying it as docufiction. Its script was written by Frances H. Flaherty and Robert J. Flaherty.
