Wiki.

Men of the Forest β€” African-American Logging Family in Georgia is a 1952 documentary film about an African American family of rural loggers in the U.S. state of Georgia as they transition from hand tools to a more efficient power saw. With a runtime of 1 hour, 4 minutes (64 Minutes), the film was directed by Lawrence Glasnes (January 12, 1907 - May 13, 1988). The film was produced by the American Film Producers, Inc. and distributed by the United States Information Service.

Created during the Cold War, the film was primarily intended for a foreign audience to portray American Capitalism and an African American family's role within it in a positive light considering the rising tide of Soviet propaganda against the United States and its weaknesses.
