John Denver award winning documentary Alaska: American Child (ending), 1978 - American Child

The end sequence on John Denver's award winning documentary Alaska: American Child. This was produced by ABC in 1978. John's commentary fades into the song American Child. John really should have done more films like this.

@nancypeterson100 Sorry Nancy, I don't believe that this documentary is available on DVD. Still, you may be able to find a bootleg copy through eBay or ioffer.com.

I have to agree with you - he should have done more shows like this - his variety specials were good, but these were so much more enjoyable and in with his own true calling!!!!!!!!!

[michaeldonegan]

Thank you for your comment. Yes, he should have done more!

I teach undergraduates at UC Berkeley and I would like to incorporate this film into an upcoming lecture. Does anyone know where I can order a copy of this video online ?

My dad is the one carrying the ladder! (@1:51 ish) He was helping his sister work on her cabin she had in Alaska. He hitch-hiked all the way to Alaska and back to Oklahoma.
