NANSEN, FRIDTJOF

"A biography of Fridtjof Nansen, Norwegian scientist, explorer and statesman, with particular emphasis on his relief work for famine-stricken Russia in 1921. Nansen failing to induce the League of Nations to assist the starving millions in Russia, visited the relief capitols of Europe and as a result the European Red Cross organizations fed and clothed over a million and a half inhabitants of the Volga and South Ukraine regions. The film emphasizes the sacrifice which Nansen the explorer made in order to become Nansen the humanitarian. 'Recommended for social studies and especially for discussion groups on social service.' Advisory committee"
