EMERGENT AFRICA
Lesotho (formerly Basutoland), South Africa. <br/> <br/>C/U of an African man in bowler hat and suit reading a newspaper, the Lesotho Times; C/U of a statue of the first Lesotho King, Mshoeshoe. We see a frontier of Lesotho as a lorry drives through; C/U of the Lesotho flag flying. Several shots of the mountainous countryside as a Land Rover drives along. <br/> <br/>Various shots in a village; goats are herded from a pen; two Basuto men put cattle dung plaster on the outside walls of their mud huts; a family sit around the fire outside their hut; cattle are herded over rocky countryside. Pathe cameraman Martin Rolfe (?), walks to an eroded rock in the countryside and crumbles a chunk in his hand. <br/> <br/>Several farming shots; a team of oxen pull a plough; a man on a tractor pulled by cattle. At an Agricultural Training School the men are instructed on tractor mechanics and thatching. Women are seen spinning outside a mud hut and weaving with coloured mohair yarns. A man pours some oil into the engine of a small plane at Lesotho Airport. A squad of police recruits drill before a sergeant. Students are seen outside the University that Lesotho shares with Botswana and Swaziland; L/S of the University's modern church. <br/> <br/>Various shots of a road and buildings being built. In Maseru, the capital, we see people milling about the streets, several wear blankets to keep the heat off; a man has a haircut. Another man works on his car, a VW Beetle, outside his house; children play with a ball. We see a football match; commentator says there is no colour bar here; black and white men sit together. In Maseru's only bar, Africans and white people drink and talk together. <br/> <br/>In another village a woman feeds some chickens and turkeys; a man has his baggage weighed and boards a plane to go and work in South Africa's gold mines. Aerial shots from a plane of the Orange River and the Maluti mountains. More village scenes as we see mothers who have brought their babies for vaccinations and a check-up on the mountainside. A white doctor attends to a baby; C/U of the contents of his medical case; he gets into a aeroplane marked 'Flying Doctor Service'. <br/> <br/>The Lesotho High Commissioner and his wife say goodbye to several British surgeons at London Airport; the surgeons are going to Lesotho to demonstrate surgery techniques. Brief in-flight shots show the men checking their instrument cases and looking at a brochure about Lesotho; L/S of the Lufthansa aeroplane landing at Johannesburg. They drive to Lesotho; a sign above the frontier reads 'Kena Ka Khotso' - 'Enter In Peace'. At the Queen Elizabeth Hospital the surgeons are greeted by Patrick Mota, the Minister of Health. <br/> <br/>One of the surgeons holds a new-born baby for the mother to see in an operating theatre; another gives a lecture on eyes before a mixed race group; a plastic surgeon from Guy's Hospital discusses an x-ray with an African doctor, who seems to be communicating by sign language. In the children's ward, a row of babies with labels on their foreheads sit on their mother's knees. A doctor examines an extremely thin baby. <br/> <br/>The Queen of Lesotho sits with her young son in a garden while he is checked over by a specialist from Britain; the King looks on, then goes off on his horse for a ride in the mountains. <br/> <br/>Note: on file is a letter about the commentary for this film from Pathe to the High Commissioner of Lesotho.

HEALTH HYDRO
Uckfield, Sussex. <br/> <br/>M/S of a stately home and grounds; commentator informs us this is the Buxted Park Health Hydro. A couple in swimwear go running along a path towards an outdoor swimming pool; other guests are splashing about in the water. In the gardens people play croquet. A ginger-haired man is shown his luxury room with a view by a woman (could be Principle Heather Shipman). Outside, on the steps of the main building, a woman practises various yoga postures. <br/> <br/>A woman chops fruit on a table; pan across a table of food offered: water with lemon, yoghurt, fruit, an apple and cheese. Nice shots as women collect trays of food from this selection and serve themselves at a salad bar. Various shots show the ginger man, clad only in a pair of baggy Y-fronts, being given a check-up by a doctor. He is weighed and has his blood pressure taken, then lies on the examination table to have his neck massaged. (Brilliant groovy music on the soundtrack.) <br/> <br/>Illustrating forms of relaxation at the health farm; women paint pictures in an art class; another woman has her shoulders massaged with a buzzing round instrument; ginger man gets into a bath and a man directs a high-pressure water jet under the water at his muscles; some rather matronly looking women exercise on bike and rowing machines and one uses a vibratory belt. M/S of two women looking at clothes in the tiny boutique in the main house. <br/> <br/>Ginger man comes out of a sauna wearing a towel and then showers himself down. Men and women in blue towelling robes are seen walking through alternate hot and cold foot baths, which stimulates circulation in the feet. One of the women reacts as she steps into the bath nearest us - this must be the cold one! <br/>Note: on file is a brochure and photos of the Health Hydro, correspondence and a news article from the Daily Mirror about health farms. Cuts exist - see separate record.
