About America First
A previously isolated Appalachian region is infiltrated by seven travelers, who seek to create a Utopian community with the residents. A television documentary crew films the fraught interactions.
Directed by Joseph L. Anderson, America First leans on a strong ensemble — Richard M. Blumenberg, Patricia Estrin, Walter Keller — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1972.
