Produced by the National Film Board of Canada for the Canadian Department of Resources and Development.
An appraisal of the social and economic development of the Mackenzie District, Northwest Territories. The film gives a kaleidoscopic review of the topography, resources, development and settlement of this most northerly Canadian frontier. It depicts the region not as a "harsh, stubborn and silent" land, but as one full of varied activity and opportunity.
