Grass: A Nations Battle for Life In 1924, filmmakers Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack teamed up with journalist Marguerite Harrison to film the migration of the Bakhtiari tribe of Persia (now Iran). Twice a year, more than 50,000 people and half a million animals would surmount seemingly impossible obstacles to take their herds to pasture. Capturing unforgettable images of courage, determination and unparalleled drama, the film remains a classic to this day. See More
