The film explores the mindset of Newfoundlanders after WWII. What were the options for political alliance and economic support? Did this sense of wartime accomplishment set the scene for Confederation debates thereafter? What production elements of the film make Newfoundland seem strong and prepared to seize opportunity? Do the narration and sound successfully integrate the montage of maps, stock footage, and close and aerial shots? Compare with YouTube-archived newsreels.
