The Earth’s Forgotten

Mario Ruspoli • 41m

Directed by Mario Ruspoli • Documentary • 1961 • 36 minutes

Ruspoli had a standing interest in isolated and marginal communities, very much on display in three films he shot in Lozère, in France’s rugged, unforgiving south. In The Earth’s Forgotten, the subjects are peasants eking out a subsistence-level existence.
