Purely by chance someone sent me a copy of that edition of the San Diego Tribune when it came out, for completely other reasons. I cut that article out and still have it in my scrapbook. I've saved everything I could find about those girls.
@ferretface1 Ugh, terrible. Ken Burns doesn't deserve to be called a film maker. It's just people talking to the camera half of the time. This is actual cinema. This sounds a little pretentious on my part, but I'm sure Gorin himself would be proud of such rhetoric.
@savagedudeguy Honestly it does seem pretty heavy-handed and obnoxious with the constant text and question marks flying all over the place. It's a pretty needless addition to an opening that should be able to stand on its own without all the silly frills.
What is it about these old documentaries from the 70s? There's just this...weird, very specific and peculiar feeling to it. Boards of Canada somehow tapped into this and it's so telling that their very name refers to the National Film Board of Canada. I remember watching Canadian documentaries telecast on Singapore TV in my early childhood and it's spooky and nostalgic to hear...and feel....thet peculiar quality in the samples they used for their music.

why are u so selfish and only put the opening ,you see how many people want to enjoy this film - dont be lazy upload the rest u dont work in the world space station
Been looking for this for years. If you do have it, I hope you can make it available, whether here or elsewhere. Anything to help keep a film from becoming lost.
i would also love to see this film. ive done some research and could only find a screening of this somewhere in Chicago. It may very well be tonight. please contact me if anybody has any info on how to obtain a copy of this.
@savagedudeguy Hi, I tried to send you a private message to ask if you would be willing to trade something for a dub of this film, but I could not send because I am not your youtube friend. Please contact me if you have time. Thanks!
Thanks for putting up the opening. I have been looking for this for years. Is this from a VHS release? I can not find any release information anywhere, but would love to see the full movie sometime.
I heard my favorite band "the Cocteau Twins" Were named after a song or this tale.

Fascinating story, but wow, what a terrible documentary. This is what documentaries were like before Ken Burns, children.
