Overview

Ivens besingt in einem visuellen Gedicht die Lebensumstände der an den weltgrößten Flüssen Wolga, Mississippi, Nil, Ganges, Amazonas und Yangtse lebenden Arbeiter und Bauern. Der Film stellt der Metaphorik einer in unversöhnliche Blöcke gespaltenen Welt das affektive Bild einer alle Grenzen überwindenden, zusammenfließenden Menschheit entgegen. Der Film entstand unter Mitwirkung von Künstlern wie Dmitri Schostakowitsch, Bertolt Brecht, Paul Robeson, Vladimir Pozner und Pablo Picasso.
