This documentary depicts the cycle of constant renewal of a continent's land, an event that has occurred countless times in the earth's two billion year existence.

A documentary/nature film edited from over 975,000 feet of footage shot by naturalists Ed N. Harrison and Frances Roberts in North and South America over a span of several years. Narrated by Marvin Miller, it ranges from volcanic eruptions to idyllic ranges of pasture, forest and mountain ranges; and species such as the bears of the northwest to terns, sea lions and pelicans of the southern lands. —Les Adams
