| Description: | Shaky - light and blurry in contrast and imagery Isolated from the world for six weeks, intrepid trail blazers from neighboring communities wage an epic fight through the dense drifts to bring succor to the imprisoned inhabitants of the snow-locked San Juan Basin. Pressing every means of transportation, modern and ancient, into service the courageous crews reach the town with food and fuel for the stricken citizens. One of the most moving human documents in today's news. | |
