Film Description:
"Community Acts is the fourth title in a 4-part series, The Lull Before the Storm. This fourth installment, Community Acts, like Women of Wood, is based on a set of interviews with women whose lives revolved around the province's largest industry in the 1930's, the 1940's, and the 1950's: the wood industry. Community Acts emphasizes activism, organization and cultural tradition, while Women of Wood concentrates on living conditions. The Lull Before the Storm series includes a dramatic portion (part 1 and 2) and a documentary portion (part 3 and 4)."
